Holiday talks about his comeback status after the Celtics were reversed by the Knicks by 20 points

Ju Holiday talked about his health after returning from injury in his first game of the Celtics' loss to the Knicks on Monday.

Ju Holiday was satisfied with his health after his comeback in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks.

Holiday participated in the first two games of the Celtics' first round against the Orlando Magic. However, he missed the last three games due to a hamstring injury.

Holiday reviewed his comeback after the game against the Knicks. His remarks should reassure Boston fans because he can continue playing.

"It feels good. No problem," Holiday said.

Ju Holiday and the Celtics' future direction

Although Ju Holiday returned to the field, the Celtics lost 105-108 to the Knicks in overtime, missing a 20-point lead, which ruined his return.

The Celtics struggled to shoot the entire game, especially outside the three-point line. They made 15 of 60 shots, setting the record for the most three-point shots in the NBA playoffs. But most of them weren't shooting at a high rate, only 35.1%, which made them lose to the Knicks, who eventually completed the counterattack.

Boston has five players in double digits in this loss. Jason Tatum led the game, scoring 23 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. However, he made 7 of 23 shots in the game, including 4 of 15 three-pointers. Jaylen Brown followed closely with 23 points and 7 rebounds; Derek White scored 19 points and 11 rebounds; Holiday scored 16 points and 6 rebounds; Payton Pritchard scored 13 points.

The Boston Celtics will have to worry about the absence of players next. Christapus Porzingis missed the last three quarters of the game due to illness; Sam Hauser's knee injury seemed to improve, and if the injury was serious, he could miss some series.

Celtics hope to equalize the score in the series with the Knicks to achieve a strong rebound. The second game will be held at 7 p.m. ET on May 7.
