Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Not playing Wednesday

Holiday (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

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.
