Pelicans' Dejounte Murray Out for Season with Torn Achilles

The 28-year-old guard sustained the injury during Friday's loss to the Celtics, dealing another blow to New Orleans' injury-plagued season.

Dejounte Murray tore his right Achilles tendon during the first quarter of the Pelicans' 118-116 loss to the Boston Celtics and will miss the remainder of the season.
The injury occurred as Murray chased his own rebound after a missed shot, marking his second major injury this season following a broken hand in the season opener.
This is Murray's first season with the Pelicans after being acquired in an offseason trade with the Atlanta Hawks, where he was an All-Star in 2022.
New Orleans has been plagued by injuries, with key players like Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram missing significant time, contributing to the team's 12-37 record.
The Pelicans are reportedly exploring trade options to reduce their luxury tax burden as their season continues to unravel.
