Lauren Holiday was diagnosed with a brain tumor earlier this summer and Jrue Holiday has faithfully promised to stay by his wife’s side during the entire process. The devastating news was not publicly divulged until Jeff Duncan’s column printed earlier this morning.
Thankfully, Lauren’s benign tumor has been deemed operable, but the surgery must be postponed until after the couple gives birth to their first child. Consequently, Jrue will miss the start of the Pelicans 2016-17 season, and his return to the team is expected to be determined by her recovery.
With fandom comes a lot of peaks and valleys.
