Undergoes successful surgery
Murray (hand) underwent successful surgery Friday and is expected to miss at least 4-6 weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analysis
Murray suffered a fractured left hand during Wednesday's win over Chicago. The 28-year-old guard is now expected to remain sidelined through most of November. In Murray's absence, Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins are candidates to receive increased roles, at least until Trey Murphy (hamstring) returns.

Diagnosed with fractured hand
Murray was officially diagnosed with a fractured left hand following Wednesday's 123-111 win over the Bulls, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analysis
With tests after Wednesday's game confirming that the point guard fractured his hand, he'll likely miss at least four weeks, and his timeline for a return could be pushed back further if surgery is deemed necessary. Listed as probable heading into the day after he missed practice earlier in the week due to a personal matter, Murray was cleared to make his Pelicans debut and turned in a double-double (14 points, 10 assists) to go along with one steal and eight rebounds, though he went 0-for-3 from three-point range and struggled from the field (4-for-15). With Murray likely sidelined through most of November, the Pelicans are likely to turn to Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins to pick up the slack in the backcourt, while both CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram could see upticks in usage and ball-handling responsibilities.

Could have fractured hand
Murray is feared to have sustained a fractured left hand during Wednesday's 123-111 win over the Bulls, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analysis
Murray logged 14 points (4-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds and a steal across 30 minutes during the victory. Despite the expected injury, Murray played deep into the fourth quarter, being subbed out with a minute left in the game along with the rest of New Orleans' starting lineup. If he did suffer a fractured hand, Murray could require a multi-week absence, which would open up more opportunities for Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins. Per Will Guillory of The Athletic, Murray is set to undergo imaging Wednesday night.

Officially active
Murray (personal) will play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bulls, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Murray was tabbed probable for Wednesday's contest for personal reasons, but as expected, the 28-year-old will make his regular-season debut with the Pelicans. After averaging 9.2 assists per game in 2021 with San Antonio, Murray didn't average more than 6.5 assists in his two seasons playing alongside Trae Young in Atlanta. In New Orleans, Murray could have the opportunity to accumulate more assists and be more of an on-ball threat.
23 October 2024
Upgraded to probable
Murray (personal) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bulls.
Analysis
Murray was away from the team for a few days while attending to a family emergency but returned Tuesday and was present for Wednesday's morning shootaround. With Zion Williamson (illness) sidelined, Murray should see plenty of usage versus Chicago if given the green light.

Goes through shootaround
Murray (personal) was present at Wednesday's shootaround, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis
Murray was away from the team for a few days while attending to a family emergency, and the Pelicans threw a questionable tag on the guard. Given his presence at shootaround, it's likely that he'll be in the lineup Wednesday against the Bulls, but there's no official confirmation yet.
22 October 2024
Remains game-time decision
Coach Willie Green said Murray (personal) is expected to return to the team Tuesday afternoon and get a workout in, but the point guard remains a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bulls, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports. Murray is officially listed as questionable.
Analysis
Murray has been away from the team for a few days while attending to a family emergency, but it sounds like he's gearing up for game action. Murray's conditioning levels following Tuesday's workout will likely determine his availability for the regular-season opener.
21 October 2024
Misses practice Monday
Murray (personal) was not at Monday's practice, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis
Murray also missed Sunday's practice as he remains away from the team while attending to a family emergency. Coach Willie Green is hopeful Murray will be back for Wednesday's Opening Night game against the Bulls, but the point guard should be considered questionable. Jose Alvarado is a candidate to see increased reps if Murray is forced to miss game action.
20 October 2024
Not practicing Sunday
Murray (personal) will not practice Sunday, though it is expected to be an excused absence, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Murray will miss Sunday's open practice but is not expected to miss any time to begin the regular season. The 28-year-old appeared in three outings during the preseason, averaging 9.7 points, 5.0 assists and 4.7 rebounds across 20.9 minutes while shooting only 35.7 percent from the field.
