Huge news for the Jazz. Holiday can only play 15 minutes per game until January, that is a huge blow for New Orleans as their backup PG's as pretty mediocre with Norris Cole. Puts NOLA at a huge disadvantage even if Holiday manages to stay healthy all year. The Jazz play New Orleans in Utah twice before January.

*Edit: Story says through January, so I guess the minutes restriction wouldn't be lifted until February if all goes well*

From reading the article, it also seems like Dante Cunningham is going to be the Day 1 starter because Pondexter hasnt recovered from surgery yet. Cunningham is basically a PF, which isn't terrible for the Pelicans since they start Ryan Anderson at PF and Davis has a lot of range, but Cunningham is a well below average starting PF and even worse SF.
