Dejounte Murray Fantasy Stats

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.
