Phoenix Suns guard Aaron Holiday is active for Sunday’s game against the Utah Jazz after missing one contest due to right ankle soreness.
Holiday was ruled questionable on Saturday, and head coach Monty Williams told reporters “We’ll see” regarding his status on Sunday.
The Suns acquired the 25-year-old from the Washington Wizards at the trade deadline in exchange for cash considerations and a trade exception.
Holiday played four games for his new team before missing Friday’s meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans.
