Jrue Holiday received a DNP-Coach's Decision in Tuesday night's preseason game against the New York Knicks. He was the only player suited up that didn't get in the game.

After Wednesday's practice, Eddie Jordan talked about not playing Holiday. He said he felt bad he didn't get him in the game, but he felt New York's guards were playing at a high, intense level.

Jordan said he didn't feel comfortable tossing Holiday into that situation, but he left reporters feeling like he simply wanted to preserve Holiday's psyche.
