JRUE HOLIDAY NEWS

Plays just eight seconds Sunday Holiday (not injury related) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Cavaliers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Per Fedor, Holiday had a contractual bonus for playing in 67 games, which he reached by starting Sunday's contest. However, after just eight seconds of play, the Bucks' point guard committed an automatic take foul and was immediately removed from the game. He won't return Sunday, but Holiday is expected to be fine heading into the postseason.

In starting five Holiday will start Sunday's game against the Cavs, Joe Gabriele of Cavs.com reports.

Impact The Bucks are resting most of their regulars, but it looks as though Holiday will see at least some action in the finale. It's very possible that he doesn't approach his usual workload, however, so he should be rostered with caution in DFS contests.

Impact Holiday will be sidelined for a second time over the Bucks' last four games due to an ankle issue, but his absence is presumably precautionary, as Milwaukee has opted to rest other regulars following Thursday's overtime win over the Nets. In his absence, George Hill will likely draw the start while Jevon Carter and Lindell Wigginton see increased roles off the bench.

Stuffs stat sheet in win Holiday recorded 19 points (6-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and six steals over 43 minutes during Thursday's 120-119 overtime win over the Nets.

Impact Holiday didn't have his best shooting performance and needed 18 shots just to score 19 points, but he more than made up for that with an excellent defensive effort as the six steals represented a season-high mark for him. The eight boards also matched his best output in that category during the current campaign.
