New Orleans Pelicans star Dejounte Murray seems to have averted a serious harm. The previous star missed Saturday night time’s sport in opposition to the Charlotte Hornets resulting from a sprained proper index finger. Murray acquired X-rays on his hand and the crew hoped it wasn’t one other long-term harm.
The Pelicans launched their harm report for Monday night time’s sport in Toronto, and Murray is listed as questionable. That is excellent news for the previous first-round decide, who already missed important time earlier this 12 months. Murray missed 22 video games this season for the 12-34 Pelicans.

The Seattle, Washington native was acquired this summer time from the Atlanta Hawks so as to add one other dynamic to the sport for the Pelicans. New Orleans traded Dyson Daniels, Larry Nance, Jr., Cody Zeller, EJ Liddell and two first-round picks to amass Murray. Within the Pelicans’ opener in opposition to the Chicago Bulls, the 6-foot-5 guard suffered a fractured proper hand within the fourth quarter of the Pelicans’ victory.
Murray missed 17 consecutive video games together with his harm earlier than returning to the lineup in late November. He’s averaging 17.5 factors, 7.6 assists and 6.5 rebounds for the season. Sadly for the Pelicans, he was unable to play with the crew’s different stars resulting from accidents on the roster.
