Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday will be available for a meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night after missing the past four games due to a shoulder injury.

Holiday last played on Feb. 4, when he had six points, six rebounds, one assist and two steals in a 112-105 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In 44 games (all starts) this season, Holiday has averaged 11.0 points, 4.4 boards and 3.7 assists.

Boston comes out of the All-Star break sitting in second in the Eastern Conference at 39-16.

The Celtics will be without big man Xavier Tillman (knee) on Thursday.

Oft-injured big man Joel Embiid (knee) of the 76ers is slated to play.
