Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday will be available for Thursday night’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers after sitting out the past four games because of a shoulder injury.

Holiday last played Feb. 4, when he had 6 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 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 rebounds and 3.7 assists.

Boston comes out of the All-Star break sitting in second place 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.
