Hopeful Signs for Pelicans as Dejounte Murray Steps Forward

NEW ORLEANS, La. — After a challenging season filled with injuries, the New Orleans Pelicans are seeing some positive developments. Starting point guard Dejounte Murray recently shared a video showing him walking again, raising hopes for his return.

Murray, known for his clutch performance in tight games, was acquired by the Pelicans to improve their chances during crucial moments. Unfortunately, his season took a downturn after he broke his hand in the opening game, sidelining him for 17 games. Later, an Achilles injury at the end of January further delayed his season.

Typically, recovery from Achilles injuries can take several months, and in some cases, it extends to a year or more. Murray’s condition for the opening game of the next season remains uncertain, but his ability to walk without a boot signals progress.

The Pelicans are eagerly anticipating his return, which could shift their performance in close games. Supporters are hopeful that this will lead to a stronger season ahead for the franchise.
