Bucks guard provides optimistic injury update after exiting win over Raptors

Jrue Holiday left Tuesday's game with right ankle soreness, but he is expected to play in Game 3.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday is expected to play in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Toronto Raptors despite exiting Tuesday's Game 2 with right ankle soreness.

Holiday rolled his ankle late in the third quarter of the Bucks' 103-96 victory and did not return.

He underwent an MRI on Wednesday that revealed no structural damage, and he was listed as probable for Game 3 on Thursday.

Holiday is averaging 19.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists in the playoffs.

He is a key part of the Bucks' defense, and his absence would be a major blow.

The Bucks lead the series 2-0, and they will host the Raptors in Game 3 on Thursday night.
