Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Diagnosed with fractured hand
Dejounte 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 New Orleans 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.
