Pelicans' Dejounte Murray suffers season-ending leg injury vs. Celtics

Today at 10:54 PM

During the first half of the New Orleans Pelicans’ 118-116 loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday night, Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray went down with a concerning right leg injury and immediately left the game. The Pelicans quickly ruled him out for the game and Murray left the arena with a boot and crutches.

Shortly after the game finished up, Murray got the worst possible diagnosis. He has a torn Achilles in his right leg and will miss the rest of the season, according to senior NBA insider Chris Haynes.

Murray missed a large chunk of time at the start of this season, his first campaign in New Orleans, after fracturing his hand in the season opener. Now, he has a long offseason of rehab ahead as he tries to get back on the court in 2025-26.
