This time of year is special partly because it brings family members together, particularly when blood relatives haven’t been able to see each other for weeks or months. For Jrue Holiday and his brothers Justin and Aaron, that will be the case this weekend – but their Saturday get-together is also unique for a very specific reason.
The NBA schedule-makers presumably are not members of the Holiday family, but it may have seemed that way in August, when it was determined that the Indiana Pacers would make their only 2019-20 visit to the New Orleans Pelicans a few days after Christmas.
