Jrue Holiday put Boston Celtics fans a bit on edge Friday when he revealed he's been dealing with "dead arm" in his right shoulder and that there's no immediate timetable for his return.
But we have good news: Holiday's right arm does still function, and there's video proof.
The Celtics guard went through a light workout at United Center on Saturday night before Boston's game against the Chicago Bulls, getting up shots despite his injured right shoulder.
Holiday is set to miss his fourth consecutive game with what the team is calling a right AC joint sprain, and the Celtics are wise to play it safe with the veteran guard's injury. Boston essentially has the Eastern Conference No. 1 seed wrapped up (11-game lead with 12 games remaining), so there's no use in rushing Holiday back and risking re-injury.
But Holiday also expressed a desire to return to action soon and avoid getting too rusty entering the postseason.
“I still want to play,” Holiday told The Boston Globe's Adam Himmelsbach. “That’s part of the reason I play basketball. But it’s also keeping rhythm. Sometimes when you’re out for a long time you break rhythm, but I feel like I’ve been in a good groove and I want to continue to play.”
Judging by how Holiday looked pregame, it wouldn't be surprising if he's back in action soon and has the opportunity to get back in that "groove" before the playoffs begin April 20.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
