Coach Monty Williams said there's a chance Holiday (leg) could return to practice with the team during the All-Star break, NBA.com reports.

Analysis:

When asked on his weekly radio show if Holiday is close to returning, Williams had the following to say: "I think we are. Do I know the date? I'm not sure. But in my mind, it wouldn't be far-fetched to think we can get him back during the All-Star break. I know he's chomping at the bit and he's feeling a lot better. If we can get him back over the break, it would really give our team a jolt, and kind of settle the rotation a bit." Holiday hasn't played in nearly a month with a stress reaction in his lower-leg, and the Pelicans have turned to Tyreke Evans to fill in as the starting point guard. Once Holiday returns, Evans will likely shift back to small forward, though Williams could opt to use him in a more versatile role off the bench.
