Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday has been named the recipient of the 2025 Red Auerbach Award.
The annual award, which was presented to Holiday at midcourt by Celtics Lead Owner and Governor Wyc Grousbeck and Co-Owner and Managing Partner Bob Epstein, prior to Boston’s game against the Charlotte Hornets, is traditionally given to the Celtics player or coach who best exemplifies the spirit of what it means to be a Celtic through exceptional performance on and off the court.
“Jrue has been key to the success of our team,” said Wyc Grousbeck. “His commitment to excellence, both in his play and leadership, sets a standard for everyone around him. He always does the right thing in the right way. He is a perfect embodiment of what it means to be a Boston Celtic—dedicated, selfless, and relentless in his pursuit of success.”
