Lauren Holiday, wife of Jrue Holiday, has undergone successful surgery to remove a tumor from her brain. 

Jrue is on a leave of absence from the New Orleans Pelicans to attend to his wife's medical situation.

Lauren gave birth just last month to her and Jrue's first child. Lauren won a gold medal for the United States' soccer team in 2008 and 2012 while also playing on their 2011 and 2015 World Cup teams.

The Holidays met while both were student-athletes at UCLA.
