Knicks’ Justin Holiday swears off social media to focus on prayer

Knicks backup shooting guard Justin Holiday has vowed to stay off social media — except to post Bible verses — in an attempt to increase his prayer work.

Holiday’s family is going through tough times. His sister-in-law, soccer star Lauren Holiday, married to the Pelicans’ Jrue Holiday, recently underwent brain surgery for a tumor after giving birth to a baby girl. Jrue Holiday has been tending to his new baby and ailing wife and has not joined the 1-9 Pelicans. However, his leave of absence is expected to end this week.

Meanwhile, Justin Holiday announced he will be off Twitter for an extended period.
