Jrue Holiday won his second NBA Sportsmanship Award and became the first Celtics player to receive the honor, the league announced on Thursday. The guard won the award when he was with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2020-21. Holiday, 34, is the fifth player to win it multiple times, joining Mike Conley, Grant Hill, Jason Kidd, and Kemba Walker.

Jrue Holiday of the Boston Celtics has won the NBA's sportsmanship award for the second time, making him the fifth player in league history to win that trophy in multiple years. Holiday received about 34% of the first-place votes cast by nearly 400 current NBA players to decide the award winner.

The Celtics chose Holiday as their Sportsmanship Award nominee. League executives selected the six finalists, and current NBA players voted on the winner. Holiday received 134 out of 394 first-place votes and finished with more than 500 more total voting points than runner-up Jarrett Allen of Cleveland.
