Good news continues to roll in for Lauren Holiday. Adrian Wojnarowski reported earlier today for The Vertical that the New Orleans Pelicans are expect Jrue Holiday, Lauren’s husband and Pelicans point guard, to return to the team next week. That report was confirmed by Pelicans beat writer Justin Verrier for ESPN. Alvin Gentry did not confirm any specific dates for Jrue’s return in his press availability after practice this afternoon.
This is excellent news in regards to the health of Lauren Holiday. While the following paragraphs will focus on the impact on a basketball franchise it is important to keep Lauren in mind first and foremost.
