Dejounte Murray Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (rest) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Murray is set to return after sitting out the front end of the back-to-back set for rest purposes. The Pelicans will continue to be cautious with Murray, who recently returned from an Achilles injury. When healthy, Murray has been solid, so fantasy managers should get him active in their lineups on Friday. He finished with 15 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists across 28 minutes of action during Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He figures to have a similar workload during Friday's contest.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (Achilles) won't play in the first leg of a back-to-back on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. Only a week has passed since Murray made his season debut, and the team is being cautious with his workload. We should see him back on the court against the Phoenix Suns on Friday night. Across his first four outings of the season, Murray has averaged 15.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.8 steals in 25.0 minutes per game. Bryce McGowens slotted into the starting lineup when Murray sat out the first game of a back-to-back last weekend. Overall, McGowens has made 13 starts this season, posting 10.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The Pelicans are going to play it safe and rest Murray during the first game of this back-to-back set. The expectation is that Murray will be back in the mix for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Murray made his season debut versus the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. He missed the first 58 games of the season while recovering from a torn Achilles. He finished with 17 points, nine assists, and four steals during Thursday's game. Murray should offer strong upside once he's back to full speed. Bryce McGowens, Jordan Poole, and Jeremiah Fears should all see increased playing time with Murray out on Saturday.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (Achilles) is officially active ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. As expected, Murray will make his season debut on Tuesday after missing over a year due to an Achilles injury. The expectation is that Murray is going to have an extremely limited workload right now. His role will likely be too minimal to make him a consistent fantasy option at the moment, but he's a great stash. Once he's back to full speed, Murray could potentially be a league winner, so stash him where he's available.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (Achilles) has been cleared to play Tuesday against Golden State after missing most of the season while recovering from a ruptured Achilles. The 29-year-old is expected to return with a monitored workload, potentially easing in off the bench as the team manages his minutes. His return clouds Jeremiah Fears' role after Fears logged seven points, seven rebounds, and six assists in 25 minutes last game. Murray's presence should also trim Jordan Poole's usage. Murray carries upside in assists and steals but comes with short-term minutes risk.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (Achilles) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Murray was listed as doubtful for this game and will ultimately remain on the sideline. Murray hasn't played since tearing his Achilles in January of 2025. The organization believes Murray is extremely close to getting back on the court. His next chance to play will come on Tuesday versus the Golden State Warriors. Fantasy managers should expect Murray to have heavy minutes restrictions once he's cleared to play. Murray is worth stashing in most fantasy formats, with his return to the court hopefully coming soon.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (Achilles) does not have a timeline for his return, head of basketball operations Joe Dumars confirmed on Monday. The versatile guard tore his right Achilles tendon on Jan. 31 during a contest against the Boston Celtics. While it's unclear when Murray will be able to return to the court, Dumars mentioned that he is "deep" into rehab and his recovery is going "very well." Murray had his first campaign with the Pelicans last season, averaging 17.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 2.0 steals. Jordan Poole will lead the Pelicans' backcourt at the start of the campaign without Murray.

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.
