New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday was going to take it slow. That was the plan and Alvin Gentry said in September that Holiday would start the preseason at 10 minutes a game and the regular season with a 15 minutes a game limit. It appears that those well-laid plans are already experiencing some adjustment.
On Friday night against the Miami Heat Holiday logged 17:50. In a preseason game. That follows 15:09 against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday and 15:25 against the Houston Rockets Monday night. Turns out this experiment of adding minutes is going well as Holiday could play up to 20 soon according to Pelicans.
