The Boston Celtics teased TNT’s announcement of the U.S. men’s national team friendly against Brazil later this summer by sharing a snap of Jrue Holiday sporting a No. 12 jersey ahead of Tuesday night’s matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. 

But the post received pushback online after the Celtics’ social media team seemed to leave out one important detail.

The jersey, which was from the USMNT, was a nod to Holiday’s wife Lauren Holiday, who wore that number throughout her legendary career with the women’s national team.

The post shared to X said, "Reppin @USMNT tonight," but failed to mention the obvious reference to the significance of the jersey number. 

Several social media users, including current USWNT star Alex Morgan, called out the team.

"Let me help you out with this – @USWNT."
