Holiday was traded to Milwaukee last fall from New Orleans. He missed time after testing positive for COVID-19, but when he’s been on the floor the 30-year-old has been very productive. He’s averaging 17.1 points, 5.4 assists, 4.6 rebounds and a career-best 1.8 steals per game. He’s really been rounding into form of late, including scoring 33 points and dishing out 11 assists in a win over Sacramento on Saturday.
With Holiday’s signing, the Bucks now have him, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton signed through at least the 2022-2023 season. |
