Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Season-worst outing in rout
Murray registered six points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 139-123 loss to the Clippers.
It was a season-worst showing by Murray, who registered season lows in both points and assists Sunday. The star guard has an opportunity to bounce back Monday in Golden State, where Trey Murphy (knee) will be a spectator for the second leg of this back-to-back set.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Records four steals
Murray ended Wednesday's 120-113 overtime win over Utah with 20 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-11 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and four steals across 44 minutes.
Murray made a significant impact at both ends of the floor, collecting four steals while converting all 11 of his free-throw attempts. The veteran guard also played a team-high 45 minutes and helped New Orleans secure the victory with clutch free throws. His combination of scoring, rebounding and defensive production made this a particularly valuable fantasy outing in his return from a personal leave.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Strong start continues
Murray produced 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 104-91 loss to the Nuggets.
Although it's a small sample size, Murray appears to be all the way back from Achilles surgery that limited him during the prior two seasons. Through four appearances, Murray has averaged 17.8 points, 6.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 32.3 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Productive in loss to Jazz
Murray amassed 16 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 120-119 loss to Utah.
Zion Williamson (23 points) was the only other Pelicans starter to score in double digits. Murray was able to suit up for just 45 regular-season games over his first two seasons in New Orleans, but the veteran point guard is healthy to begin 2026-27 and looks poised to regain the form he had earlier in his career in stints with Atlanta and San Antonio, when he averaged more than 20 points, six assists and five boards a game in three straight seasons.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Mellifluent start to season
Murray amassed 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and two steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 123-120 loss to the Pacers.
Murray didn't miss a beat, delivering a two-way masterclass despite the loss Wednesday. He led the team in minutes, points, assists, steals and blocks, rewarding anyone who took a chance on him in drafts. While his production could ebb and flow, to some degree, managers should feel relatively confident when it comes to his floor, given his proven ability to contribute across multiple categories, as evidenced in this performance.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Ready for season opener
Murray (toe) said Monday he'll be fine to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Pacers, per Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site.
Murray battled a bruised toe to close out the preseason, but all signs point toward him being good to go for the start of the regular season. The star guard should be able to handle a normal workload Wednesday, and Murray is looking to build on last year's successful comeback from an Achilles injury.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Out again Friday
Murray (toe) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Wizards, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Murray looked good in the preseason opener on Oct. 7, but then sat out the final three exhibition games due to a toe issue. He'll have another four days to rest up before the Pelicans' regular-season opener against the Pacers on Oct. 21, and for now, he can be considered questionable for that one. If he's not ready by Opening Night, Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Poole would get a bump in value.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Productive in preseason win
Murray played 19 minutes in Tuesday's preseason win over the Thunder, scoring six points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding six assists and four rebounds.
The 30-year-old point guard appears healthy heading into 2026-27 after injuries limited him to just 45 regular-season games over his first two seasons with the Pelicans. Murray will likely have his workload monitored in the preseason, but New Orleans is hoping he can regain the form that saw him average 22.5 points, 6.4 assists, 5.3 boards, 2.6 threes and 1.4 steals over 35.7 minutes in 2023-24, his final season with Atlanta.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Key player for 2026-27
Murray (hand) remains a cornerstone of New Orleans' backcourt despite missing the first half of last season due to a torn Achilles tendon.
Murray's playing time was monitored closely after his delayed 2025-26 debut, and he missed the final games of the regular season due to a bruised hand. Assuming he's fully healthy entering training camp, Murray should reclaim a starting role and provide veteran leadership alongside the Pelicans' young guards. His ability to contribute across the board as a scorer, facilitator and defender gives him a chance to bounce back in 2026-27.
