The rash of injuries in New Orleans has now swept over Pelicans starting point guard Jrue Holiday. He's wearing a walking boot, having been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right tibia.
Holiday is out indefinitely. The team's doctors will need to evaluate the fracture at a later time to see whether surgery is needed.
Holiday was at Friday's shoot around, encouraging his teammates from a seat courtside.
