After missing 10 straight games, Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday is expected to return to the roster against the visiting Clippers on Sunday, sources told ESPN.

The Bucks have been largely inconsistent without Holiday, who has been out for three weeks under league health and safety protocols.

Holiday trained with the Bucks on Saturday and he’s progressed in stepping up his conditioning this week.

After starting the season 15-8, the Bucks struggled to reach a 5-5 record without Holiday. The Bucks are down in points per game (121.2 to 117.6), points differential (9.8 to 2.5) and assists per game (27.2 to 23.7).

Holiday averages 16.4 points, 5.4 assists and 4.8 rebounds, including 50% from the floor and 38.7% from 3 points.

The Bucks acquired Holiday from the New Orleans Pelicans in a successful four-team trade during the offseason.
