Jrue Holiday is returning from a stress reaction to his lower right leg for the first time since January.
Holiday will play on Friday against the Phoenix Suns on a restriction of 15 minutes and come off the bench.
''I feel like Jrue (Holiday) is a guy that has worked his tail off to get to this point,'' Monte Williams said. ''He is excited to get back on the floor. We are glad to have him back.He means so much to our team, not just to the defense but his offense ability also. It's going to take him some time and he doesn't have a lot of time, but to get him back into the rotation is huge.''
