Dejounte Murray Questionable for Pelicans with Elbow and Shin Injuries
Dejounte Murray is dealing with right elbow soreness and a right shin contusion. This makes his status questionable for the New Orleans Pelicans. He has been facing these issues since January 8, 2025, and it is uncertain if he will play in the upcoming games.
What It Means
Murray’s absence could impact the Pelicans significantly. He is averaging 16.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game this season. His shooting percentage stands at 37.9%, with a three-point shooting rate of 24.8%. These stats show his importance to the team as a scorer and playmaker.
If Murray cannot play, CJ McCollum might see more time on the court as he leads the depth chart at point guard. Jordan Hawkins and Antonio Reeves could also step up in Murray’s absence at shooting guard position. The team will need to adjust their strategy to fill the gap left by Murray’s potential absence.
