New Orleans Pelicans Season Review: Jrue Holiday

Jrue Holiday’s year was replete with adversity. His resilience truly warrants respect. His wife’s surgery on a brain tumor understandably stalled his return to action. Jrue’s first game would not be until November 18th, against the Portland Trail Blazers. In his absence, the Pelicans struggle to remain relevant in the Western Conference. They would start the year 2-10.

After the tumultuous beginning to Jrue’s season, Holiday began to emerge as an essential cog. That is, in regards to the New Orleans Pelicans’ midseason success. In his return against Portland, the Pelicans won quite easily. Holiday would record 21 points and seven assists in 23 minutes.
