Jrue Holiday and his wife, Lauren, have decided to dedicate Holiday’s NBA bubble salary to starting a social justice fund aimed at supporting and continuing the Black Lives Matter movement.
The New Orleans Pelicans guard told ESPN on Wednesday that he and Lauren, a retired USWNT soccer player, are starting the Jrue and Lauren Holiday Social Justice Impact Fund, and using his remaining NBA bubble paychecks — which the NBPA estimates could be as much as $5.3 million — to do it.
The fund will focus on three cities: New Orleans, Indianapolis, and Los Angeles.
