Pelican Debrief Podcast: New Orleans Pelicans lose Jrue Holiday due to family illness

Let’s start this off with one important thought: The New Orleans Pelicans are one heck of an organization. Jrue Holiday ‘s wife and Olympic gold medal winner, Lauren Holiday, has been diagnosed with a benign brain tumor, but she cannot be operated on until their first child has been born. In a show of class, the organization has agreed to give Holiday an open ended leave of absence to take care of his family.

To talk a little bit about this situation and how the Pelicans can survive without their second best player, Brendon Kleen (@BrendonKleen14) joined Nathan Heck (@NathanHeck22) in this week’s edition of the Pelican Debrief Podcast.
