The New Orleans Pelicans have reported that Jrue Holiday has underwent successful surgery. Jrue Holiday has to postpone surgery due to the NBA Playoffs against the Golden State Warriors. Unfortunately, that didn’t last for too long as they got swept.
According to the official release from the Pelicans:
“New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday underwent successful surgery to remove a screw from a previously placed rod in his lower right leg, the team announced today. A timetable for his return to basketball activities will be determined at a later date.
Holiday, 6 feet 4, 205 pounds, appeared in 40 games for New Orleans this season, averaging 14.8 points, 6.9 assists and 3.4 rebounds. Holiday appeared in three of New Orleans’ four playoff games, averaging 6.3 points, 4.3 assists and 1.0 rebounds.”
Holiday finished off the season on a strong note, but he dealt with injury issues all year. Hopefully Holiday can come back next season, because at sometimes the Pelicans lacked a true point guard during the season. Can the Pelicans be even more scary with a healthy Jrue Holiday?
