Pelicans' Dejounte Murray suffers potentially serious hand injury in win over Bulls
Yesterday at 11:29 PM
New Orleans Pelicans star point guard Dejounte Murray is feared to have suffered a fractured left hand in the team’s 123-111 opening night victory over the Chicago Bulls, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
After spending the last two seasons alongside Trae Young on the Atlanta Hawks, Murray was acquired by the Pelicans over the summer in a deal that involved two future first-round picks and four players, including Larry Nance Jr. and former first-round pick Dyson Daniels. Given his two-way nature of play, the Pelicans appeared primed for immediate growth from their 49-33 record from the 2024-25 season.
With Murray going down with what appears to be a serious hand injury, as well as Zion Williamson missing the team’s season opener due to an illness, injuries continue to plague New Orleans’ chances of finding success.
Murray finished Wednesday night’s game with 14 points, 10 assists, and eight rebounds in roughly 30 minutes of play.
This is a developing story that will be updated shortly.
