Dejounte Murray Set to Return Wednesday After Hand Injury

The Pelicans guard, sidelined since opening night, plans to rejoin the lineup against the Raptors as New Orleans battles injuries and a tough Western Conference season.

Dejounte Murray, who fractured his left hand on opening night, is expected to return to the Pelicans' lineup Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors.
Murray was acquired from the Atlanta Hawks in a major offseason trade and is seen as a key piece of the Pelicans' starting lineup.
The Pelicans have struggled with injuries to key players, including Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum, and have lost 13 of their last 15 games after a strong start to the season.
Murray's return comes at a critical point as the Pelicans aim to recover in a competitive Western Conference while still missing other key contributors.
In his brief debut with the Pelicans, Murray nearly recorded a triple-double, showcasing his potential impact on the team's performance.
