Jrue Holiday News, Rumors, Updates - Portland Trail Blazers

Not playing Sunday Holiday (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact As expected, Holiday will be sidelined for the second leg of the Trail Blazers' back-to-back set Sunday while working through a right calf injury, and his next chance to play is Thursday against the Heat. The Blazers will be reinforced with the return of Deni Avdija (back) from a three-game absence, and Caleb Love should also see an uptick in playing time in Holiday's absence.

Unlikely to play Sunday Holiday is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Kings due to right calf injury management.

Impact After posting nine points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds across 20 minutes in Saturday's win over the Lakers, Holiday is unlikely to suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. If the veteran point guard is ultimately ruled out, Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert would be candidates for increased playing time, especially if Deni Avdija (back) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Impact Holiday was initially listed as questionable due to right calf injury management for the front end of this back-to-back set, though he was upgraded to probable Saturday before being cleared to play. The veteran point guard has appeared in three outings (one start) following a 27-game absence due to a right calf strain, averaging 10.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 19.3 minutes per tilt during that stretch.

The team should provide further clarification on his status as tipoff nears.

Iffy for Saturday Holiday (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Holiday may miss the front end of Portland's back-to-back set due to right calf injury management. The veteran guard has appeared in just three outings following a 27-game absence due to a right calf strain, so it appears likely he'll be held out of at least one half of this back-to-back. If Holiday is ultimately ruled out, Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert would be candidates for increased playing time.

Back with starting five Holiday is starting Thursday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Holiday came off the bench in his first two games back from a right calf strain, and the team is slowly easing back on his minutes restriction. He logged 21 minutes in Tuesday's matchup, so it's certainly possible he could approach the 25-minute mark Thursday night. Caleb Love will move to the bench with Holiday returning to the starting lineup.

Excels in limited playing time Holiday (calf) recorded eight points (2-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes in Sunday's 123-114 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Since he had missed the Trail Blazers' previous 27 games due to a right calf strain, Holiday was eased back into the mix with a sub-20-minute bench role. Aside from an 0-for-3 showing from inside the arc, Holiday was productive during his time on the court. After averaging 33.3 minutes per game while starting in each of Portland's first 12 contests, Holiday should eventually move back to the top unit, though it could take a handful of games before his playing-time restriction is lifted.

Not starting in return Holiday (calf) won't start against the Knicks on Sunday.

Impact Holiday hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a right calf strain and will be on a minutes restriction during his return to action, per Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland. While the veteran point guard will likely need some time to work his way back to his regular role, his presence should leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert.

Will play Sunday Holiday (calf) will play Sunday versus the Knicks, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

Impact Head coach Tiago Splitter acknowledged that with this being Holiday's first game in nearly two months, he will have some minutes restrictions, making Holiday a risky target in daily fantasy leagues. He should be activated in season-long settings, though, and Holiday's return could cut into the playing time of Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love.

Upgraded to probable Holiday (calf) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Knicks.

Impact It appears that Holiday will be making his return from what was nearly a two-month layoff, so expect him to be operating with some heavy minutes restrictions in his first game back. Holiday should start, which will likely push Sidy Cissoko back to the second unit and Caleb Love's minutes could dip a bit.

Questionable for Sunday Holiday (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Holiday hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a right calf strain but is trending in the right direction after receiving a questionable tag. If the veteran point guard is cleared to play, it wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction. Still, his presence would leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert.

Impact The fact that Portland originally labeled Holiday as doubtful is a sign that the veteran floor general is inching closer to returning to the floor.

Not playing Wednesday Holiday (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Holiday continues to progress in his recovery from a right calf strain that has kept him sidelined since Nov. 14, having recently been cleared for on-court activities. He's not quite ready to return, but his next chance to play is in Friday's rematch against Houston. Caleb Love -- who has averaged 16.9 points and 3.6 threes over 29.5 minutes per game over his last eight outings -- will continue to serve in an expanded role off the bench for as long as Holiday is sidelined.

Won't play Monday Holiday (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Holiday hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a right calf strain and is without a clear timetable for a return.

Caleb Love will likely continue to see meaningful burn for as long as Holiday is sidelined.
