After missing 10 consecutive games, Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday will likely return to the lineup against the visiting LA Clippers on Sunday, sources told ESPN.
The Bucks have been largely inconsistent without Holiday, who has been out for three weeks as part of the competition’s health and safety protocols.
Holiday rehearsed with the Bucks on Saturday, and he’s made progress this week ramping up his conditioning.
After starting season 15-8, the Bucks have hit a record of 5-5 without a holiday. The Bucks are down in points per game (121.2 to 117.6), point difference (9.8 to 2.5) and assists per game (27.2 to 23.7).
Holiday averaged 16.4 points, 5.4 assists and 4.8 rebounds, including 50% shooting from the floor and 38.7% on 3-pointers.
The Bucks acquired Holiday from the New Orleans Pelicans in a four-team blockbuster hit during the off-season.
