Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Undergoes successful surgery

Murray suffered a fractured left hand during Wednesday's win over Chicago. The 28-year-old guard is now expected to remain sidelined through most of November. In Murray's absence, Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins are candidates to receive increased roles, at least until Trey Murphy (hamstring) returns.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Diagnosed with fractured hand
Murray was officially diagnosed with a fractured left hand following Wednesday's 123-111 win over the Bulls, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
With tests after Wednesday's game confirming that the point guard fractured his hand, he'll likely miss at least four weeks, and his timeline for a return could be pushed back further if surgery is deemed necessary. Listed as probable heading into the day after he missed practice earlier in the week due to a personal matter, Murray was cleared to make his Pelicans debut and turned in a double-double (14 points, 10 assists) to go along with one steal and eight rebounds, though he went 0-for-3 from three-point range and struggled from the field (4-for-15). With Murray likely sidelined through most of November, the Pelicans are likely to turn to Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins to pick up the slack in the backcourt, while both CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram could see upticks in usage and ball-handling responsibilities.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Could have fractured hand
Murray is feared to have sustained a fractured left hand during Wednesday's 123-111 win over the Bulls, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Murray logged 14 points (4-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds and a steal across 30 minutes during the victory. Despite the expected injury, Murray played deep into the fourth quarter, being subbed out with a minute left in the game along with the rest of New Orleans' starting lineup. If he did suffer a fractured hand, Murray could require a multi-week absence, which would open up more opportunities for Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins. Per Will Guillory of The Athletic, Murray is set to undergo imaging Wednesday night.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Officially active
Murray (personal) will play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bulls, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Murray was tabbed probable for Wednesday's contest for personal reasons, but as expected, the 28-year-old will make his regular-season debut with the Pelicans. After averaging 9.2 assists per game in 2021 with San Antonio, Murray didn't average more than 6.5 assists in his two seasons playing alongside Trae Young in Atlanta. In New Orleans, Murray could have the opportunity to accumulate more assists and be more of an on-ball threat.

Murray (personal) will not practice Sunday, though it is expected to be an excused absence, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Bounces back in preseason loss
Murray ended with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes in Sunday's 101-99 preseason loss to the Heat.
Murray produced a solid outing in his limited run against Miami. The 25-year-old appears to be knocking the rust off after he posted only six points while shooting 2-for-9 from the field in his Pelicans debut against the Magic last Monday. Murray will likely be the club's primary ball handler coming off a career-best year with the Hawks, during which he averaged a career-high 22.5 points, 6.4 assists and 5.3 rebounds across 35.7 minutes per game in 78 regular-season appearances.
