Portland Trail Blazers guard Jrue Holiday, who had already missed three games because of a right calf strain entering Friday’s action, will be sidelined at least another one to two weeks, the team announced Friday.
Holiday last played Nov. 14, when he scored 13 points in Portland’s 140-116 loss at Houston.
In addition, Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe sat out a second consecutive game Friday when Portland faced the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco.
The team also updated the status of Scoot Henderson, who has yet to play this season due to an injured left hamstring. The 21-year-old guard will be re-evaluated in two to four weeks.
Holiday was leading the Blazers with 8.3 assists per game and ranked sixth in the NBA entering play Friday. He was also averaging 16.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per outing.
The 17-year veteran, two-time All-Star and six-time All-Defensive team member is in his first season in Portland. A durable player, Holiday has averaged 32.9 minutes played in 1,049 career regular-season games. He has played in at least 59 contests in the past 10 seasons.
Holiday owns averages of 15.8 points and 6.2 assists per game for his career, which includes stints in Philadelphia (2009-2013), New Orleans (2013-2020), Milwaukee (2020-23) and Boston (2023-25). He won NBA championships with the Bucks in 2021 and with the Celtics in 2024.
