Dejounte Murray is nearing his return to the court after a brief injury setback. The New Orleans Pelicans guard, who fractured his left hand on opening night, is expected to make his comeback Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes.
Murray’s injury occurred during the fourth quarter of the Pelicans’ season opener against the Chicago Bulls. Despite the setback, the 27-year-old had a standout performance, posting 14 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds in his debut.
His performance was crucial for New Orleans, especially in the absence of Zion Williamson, who was sidelined due to illness.
The return of Murray provides a much-needed boost for the Pelicans, who have been managing without their key player for the start of the season.
