Baseball pitchers may suffer from dead arm syndrome as a result of repetitive throwing motion injuries. According to HealthLine, the damage can cause symptoms like arm tiredness, numbness, and an inability to throw forcefully.
Holiday sprained his shoulder last Sunday against the Washington Wizards. Holiday was clearly in discomfort when a Wizards player placed a screen on his right side. Before diving back into the play, he gripped his shoulder and hung his head down for a short while.
The 33-year-old informed Himmelsbach that while he recovers, the team’s medical staff is taking care of him. But Holiday’s main priority for recovery, according to Himmelsbach, is just relaxing.
According to Himmelsbach, Holiday stated that he is unsure of his return date but that he is feeling better and wants to play soon.
Holiday has been a key component of the Boston Celtics’ success this season since being traded from the Portland Trail Blazers in October of last year. The 33-year-old NBA veteran has only missed nine games this season and has started all 61 of his outings.
Despite the fact that Boston has triumphed this season despite missing one or more of its regular starters due to rest or injury, the organization does not want Holiday to be out of the lineup for an extended period of time. especially with 12 games left in the regular season and the player suffering from an arm injury.
With an average of 5.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game this season, Holiday is a vital component of Boston’s redesigned defensive lineup.
