The new extension will include Holiday forgoing the $37.5 million player option he had for next season under his previous contract. Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens immediately saw the impact Holiday could have in Boston shortly after he was dealt to Portland this past offseason as part of the deal that sent Damian Lillard to Milwaukee.
A three-time NBA all-defensive first-team selection, Holiday has seen his scoring average drop to 12.5 points per game, his lowest output since his third season in the league in 2011-12. But he’s shooting a career-best 43.1% from 3-point range and averaging a career-best 5.4 rebounds. He’s also been durable, starting all 68 games he’s played in this season.
