New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday will miss an indefinite amount of time to start the season as he cares for his newborn child and wife, who will be recovering from brain surgery, according to the Times-Picayune.
Lauren Holiday, a former professional soccer player and member of two Olympic gold medal squads, was diagnosed with a tumor on her brain in June. The tumor is operable and she is expected to make a full recovery.
Doctors will perform the operation after the birth of the couples’ daughter, which is still a few months away.
