New Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday continues to dish out assists on and off the court.

On Saturday, Holiday announced on Instagram and he and his wife, Lauren Holiday, are giving the remainder of their 2020 salary to “small black owned businesses, nonprofits and initiatives. The Bucks guard noted the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the heightened racial injustices as main problems that have left a lot of people searching for answers and solutions amid the trying times.

For their part, the couple reached the conclusion that assisting black-owned businesses and non-profits are where they could make a “lasting impact.”

It is unknown how much the couple will be donating. However, it is worth noting that Jrue Holiday made $26 million with the New Orleans Pelicans during the 2019-20 campaign. He is set to earn $25 million with the Bucks in 2020-21, plus a number of incentives.

To recall, Holiday and his wife also made the same announcement last July as they launch their Jrue and Lauren Holiday Social Justice Impact Fund. According to reports of the initiative at the time, the couple's pledge could reach up to $5.3 million.

“Honestly when it came down to it, it was me and my wife talking about what we could do to kind of further this movement and progression and being able to help out our community and just being able to help,” Holiday told ESPN.

“We were just kind of sitting in the house, in the bed, thinking about it, and my wife said, ‘I think you should do this and you should do the rest of your salary.’ That’s a great idea. Because we want to make an impact. God has blessed us with so much. We know a couple of things that are important are time and money, and right now, we have both. To be able to give away our money to help further this movement and Black-owned businesses that have taken a hit in COVID-19, to us, it felt like the perfect time and opportunity.”

The Bucks have been one of the most active teams in voicing their thoughts and taking action about the social injustices in the US and around the world. Holiday, for his part, is making sure that the action continues as the nation navigates through the pandemic and the societal issues that envelope it.
