Dejounte Murray Could Miss Season Opener
1 month agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (personal) is uncertain to suit up for Wednesday's season opener against the Chicago Bulls. Murray is currently away from the team due to a family emergency. Head coach Willie Green said the team was hopeful that Murray would return for a workout on Tuesday. It seems that Murray is trending towards a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's game. Backup guard Jose Alvarado (knee) is listed as questionable for this game as well. CJ McCollum would likely be asked to be the primary ball handler if Murray sits out. Also, Jordan Hawkins and Antonio Reeves would see more minutes in the rotation.
