For the first time in a while, Jrue Holiday has been able to keep his mind on basketball this season.
The New Orleans Pelicans guard has dealt with years of injury concerns and a major health scare with his pregnant wife last season, but he's finally put that behind him.
In a story posted Tuesday, Holiday spoke with Yahoo about coming back to play during the 2016-17 season after his wife, Lauren, was diagnosed with a brain tumor and learning how to deal with balancing life on and off the court.
"There was a lot of stress that I felt, a lot of pressure there," Holiday said.
