According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (Achilles) will miss the remainder of the season. The former Atlanta Hawk exited Friday's two-point loss to the Boston Celtics due to a non-contact injury, with further testing revealing a torn right Achilles. Murray has been plagued by multiple injuries, including missing a month to begin the season due to a hand injury. He also struggled on the scoring end, averaging 17.9 points, nearly five points less than last season. Murray has a long road of recovery on the horizon, and it's also possible he isn't available at the start of the 2025-26 campaign. But in the meantime, CJ McCollum may be handling things at the one, with Jose Alvarado and Brandon Boston Jr. in line for more work.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (undisclosed) was helped directly to the locker room after crumpling to the ground while chasing a rebound in the first quarter. After the non-contact injury, the star guard grabbed at the back of his leg, which could indicate an Achilles injury. The injury clearly seemed serious based on the reaction of his teammates and the fans in the building. Before leaving, Murray had only had four points and five rebounds in eight minutes. For as long as Murray is sidelined, CJ McCollum will have to carry the load for the Pelicans in the backcourt, while Jose Alvarado will be more involved and could replace Murray in the lineup. The Pelicans have had brutal injury issues all season, and Murray's injury could potentially end his first season after just 30 games with New Orleans.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, finger) has been cleared for action ahead of Friday's tilt against the Boston Celtics. Murray is nursing an elbow and a finger injury but has been upgraded from probable to available. This is a significant boost for the Pelicans since Zion Williamson (illness) will not take the floor against the defending champions. With Williamson unavailable, Murray will lead the Pelicans offense alongside CJ McCollum and Trey Murphy III. Murray has averaged 25.0 points over his past four appearances.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow/finger) is dealing with a couple of different injuries to his elbow and finger, but is still considered probable to play against the Boston Celtics on Friday. The Pelicans continue to deal with tons of injuries, so they'll lean on Murray for a lot on both sides of the ball. He'll have a bit of an uphill battle against a solid all-around team like the Celtics, but is still a must-start as long as he plays. On the off chance that he gets downgraded, Javonte Green and Brandon Boston Jr. would both see a big boost in minutes.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, finger) will play against the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night. Murray is currently dealing with an elbow issue and has sprained his right index finger, but the team has upgraded him from probable to available. Murray is in the midst of a strong five-game stretch, which started with a 30-point outing against the Mavericks. Over these five games, he has averaged 22.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists, and 1.8 steals.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, finger) is listed as probable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Murray is dealing with a couple of lingering injuries, but they aren't expected to keep him off the court. He finished with 21 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists on Monday, so it doesn't appear to be impacting his performance on the court. However, Murray did miss a game last week, so fantasy managers will need to check back closer to tip-off. Jordan Hawkins and Trey Murphy III would see increased roles and more fantasy appeal if Murray is unable to play.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, finger) is available for Monday night's game against the Toronto Raptors. Murray had X-rays done on his right hand over the weekend after missing Saturday's game. Thankfully for the 28-year-old they confirmed it's just a finger sprain and will be something he's able to play through. Murray has averaged 19.5 PPG, 6.3 RPG and 7.8 APG in January. With a decent looking matchup against the Raptors on deck, Murray should be in line for a solid night.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, finger) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors. The veteran has been battling numerous injuries during the 2024-25 campaign. But he's also seen a dip in production, averaging 17.5 points, five points less than last season. With that in mind, if Murray remains out on Monday, Jordan Hawkins, amassing 14 points and three steals in Saturday's loss to Charlotte, will likely remain in the starting lineup. Jose Alvarado, who logged 32 minutes in that one, could also be in line for a bump in fantasy production.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (finger) won't play on Saturday against Charlotte. The former Hawk missed over a month to begin the 2024-25 campaign because of a left hand injury. However, according to head coach Willie Green, Murray will get X-rays on his right hand. For now, he's ruled out with a sprained right index finger. While that injury could keep the 28-year-old off the floor, fantasy managers are hoping the injury isn't more severe. In the meantime, Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins will likely see a bump in fantasy production.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow) has been upgraded to available for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Murray will continue to play through an elbow injury. Possibly due to the injury, Murray has struggled to score efficiently lately, but he has continued to play big minutes and should do so again on Friday night. With Ja Morant (illness) sidelined, Murray will have fewer defensive responsibilities, allowing him to conserve energy that should benefit him on offense.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow) is considered probable to face off against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. The veteran combo guard is dealing with elbow bursitis but he's been able to play in the last 26 consecutive games including 45 minutes in their last outing against the Utah Jazz. In that game, he registered 26 points, 11 assists, nine rebounds, and three steals. Murray should continue to be a big part of the offense while they still miss two of their starting five.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow) is listed as probable for Wednesday's clash against Milwaukee. He landed on the injury report with an elbow issue a while back, but the injury has yet to keep Murray out of the lineup. The 28-year-old has averaged 18.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 7.9 assists, and 1.8 steals since the turn of the year. Jose Alvarado's fantasy stock would receive a substantial boost if Murray suffers a setback and cannot play on Wednesday.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow) will play on Monday against Utah. The former Hawk continues to battle an elbow injury. While he's appeared on the injury report often as of late because of the ailment, it hasn't kept him off the floor. The Pelicans won't have Zion Williamson (illness) on Monday night, so Murray, CJ McCollum, and Trey Murphy III should all benefit. Utah is also one of the worst defensive teams in the National Basketball Association, which is another positive for fantasy managers regarding Murray's potential.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow) remains on the injury report with elbow bursitis but is considered probable to play against the Utah Jazz on Friday. Murray, along with the entire Pelicans' roster, has had some injury troubles this year, but hasn't needed to miss a game since the end of November. The Jazz have a lengthy injury report, so Murray could be in line for a good night while Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Herbert Jones (shoulder) remain sidelined. In a down year, he still averages 17.2 points, 7.6 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.3 steals per game.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow) is available for Wednesday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Murray has been dealing with right elbow soreness but has been able to play through it. The 28-year-old has started to heat up from deep, shooting 42.1% from three over his last five games on 7.6 attempts per game. Three of those games have been with Zion Williamson active. In the games Williamson has not been active he's only taken five threes in each game. With Williamson inactive tonight, Murray may not take as many threes but should still be a factor against a weakened Dallas team.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow) will play on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. The former Hawk has turned up the volume on the statistical end of late, averaging 18.4 points, 8.0 assists, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.9 steals in seven appearances in January. But he could be even more productive versus the Bulls, a team that has allowed 120.8 points per game this season, the second-worst average in the National Basketball Association. With Murray cleared for action, it will likely mean less work for Jose Alvarado, who would have been in line to start.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow) is probable for Tuesday's matchup with the Bulls. The 28-year-old missed over a month to begin the season because of a fractured hand. While he's appeared on the injury report since returning, he hasn't missed any time. Murray is also playing better than at any point in the season, averaging 18.4 points, 8.0 assists, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.9 steals in seven games this month, keeping him worthy of a spot in any fantasy lineup.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, shin) will be active against Boston on Sunday. Murray is dealing with a couple of health issues right now, but he has been upgraded from questionable to available. The 28-year-old will have a significant role in slowing down Boston's backcourt, and Murray should also have a major part to play on the offensive end. He has averaged 17.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 8.0 assists, and 2.0 steals across six January appearances.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, shin) has once again picked up a questionable tag on the injury report as the team prepares to face the defending NBA champions, the Boston Celtics, on Sunday. Murray is currently nursing elbow and shin injuries, but the ailments haven't kept him out of the lineup on previous occasions. We will likely see Murray out there on Sunday. However, if he needs to take some time off to heal, Jose Alvarado's fantasy stock would receive a boost. He's more known as a defensive specialist, but Alvarado can also make an impact on the offensive end, evident from his 13-point, nine-assist outing on Friday against Philadelphia.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (elbow, shin) will play on Friday against Philadelphia. Murray was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to shin and elbow ailments. With Zion Williamson (suspension) and Trey Murphy III (ankle) out of action, Murray is expected to carry the Pelicans offense with CJ McCollum. The versatile guard has a chance to post 20-plus points for a third consecutive outing for the first time as a Pelican. His recent work also includes a triple-double.
