Jrue Holiday (health protocols) out indefinitely for Bucks
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (health and safety protocols) will not travel to Phoenix for Wednesday's game versus the Suns and there is no timetable for his return.
What It Means:
Holiday was a late scratch on Monday night after testing positive for COVID-19, according to comments from teammate Khris Middleton. League protocol requires a minimum 10-day absence for a positive test and Holiday will likely need to work on his conditioning once he's cleared. Bryn Forbes replaced Holiday in the starting lineup on Monday and Middleton stepped in with a career-high 12 assists. D.J. Augustin also saw a bump off the bench. The Bucks' next game is on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns.
Forbes scored 21.5 FanDuel points with a 17.3 percent usage rate on Monday in his first start of the season. Middleton registered a whopping 47.8 percent assist rate, up from his season average of 26.2, with a season-best 62.6 FanDuel points.
