Holiday (leg) aggravated the stress reaction in his lower right leg Monday and will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

Analysis:

Holiday has missed the team's last 16 games with the injury, and he's now slated to miss another significant chunk of time. The hope is that he could return to practice after three weeks, though the team will certainly exercise caution given Holiday's history of stress-related injuries. His extended absence means Tyreke Evans will continue to start at point guard, but it also increases the likelihood that New Orleans pursues a deal for a point guard before Thursday's deadline.
