Murray (hand) was able to do some on-court work at Monday's practice, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports. Murray was also able to do some shooting, but he hasn't been cleared for contact just yet. After undergoing surgery back on Oct. 25, Murray was given a 4-to-6-week timetable, and it appears that he's ramping up towards a return in the near future.
Murray (hand) underwent successful surgery Friday and is expected to miss at least 4-6 weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. 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.
Murray was officially diagnosed with a fractured left hand Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Further testing confirmed Murray's injury, likely sidelining the point guard for multiple weeks. The guard suffered the injury during the second half of Wednesday's 123-112 win over the Bulls. A clearer timetable for Murray's return should be established in the coming days, but fantasy managers should start looking for replacement options. The Pelicans will likely turn to Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins to pick up the slack in the backcourt while CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram could see an uptick in usage.
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.
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) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bulls. Murray was away from the team for a few days while attending to a family emergency but returned Tuesday and was present for Wednesday's morning shootaround. With Zion Williamson (illness) sidelined, Murray should see plenty of usage versus Chicago if given the green light.
Murray (personal) was present at Wednesday's shootaround, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Murray was away from the team for a few days while attending to a family emergency, and the Pelicans threw a questionable tag on the guard. Given his presence at shootaround, it's likely that he'll be in the lineup Wednesday against the Bulls, but there's no official confirmation yet.
Coach Willie Green said Murray (personal) is expected to return to the team Tuesday afternoon and get a workout in, but the point guard remains a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bulls, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports. Murray has been away from the team for a few days while attending to a family emergency, but it sounds like he's gearing up for game action. Murray's conditioning levels following Tuesday's workout will likely determine his availability for the regular-season opener.
Murray (personal) was not at Monday's practice, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Murray also missed Sunday's practice as he remains away from the team while attending to a family emergency. Coach Willie Green is hopeful Murray will be back for Wednesday's Opening Night game against the Bulls, but the point guard should be considered questionable. Jose Alvarado is a candidate to see increased reps if Murray is forced to miss game action.
