New Balance executive Chris Davis: If you look at the NBA, I’m pretty sure we have seven or eight All-Stars, starting with Kawhi (Leonard) to Zach LaVine, Tyrese Maxey, Jamal Murray, Dejounte Murray, Darius Garland, and then enter Cooper Flagg. In this year’s draft, we have Caleb Wilson, who is a star freshman from North Carolina and will be a top-five pick. And then as a senior in high school, we have Jordan Smith Jr., who’s the top recruit in the country going into the NCAA; he’s committed to Arkansas. So that’s what the basketball landscape looks like.
The Pelicans have listed Dejounte Murray (left hand contusion) as questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando. Karlo Matkovic (low back spasms) and Trey Murphy (right ankle sprain) are also questionable.

Josh Lewenberg: I asked Jamal Shead about Dejounte Murray sitting out. To little surprise, he took the high road. Said it didn't matter, they just need a win. And yes, after what the Pelicans did to them a couple weeks ago + the way their road trip ended in LA, they shouldn't be lacking for motivation
Law Murray: Pelicans reportedly that Bryce McGowens (toe fracture) is out for tomorrow vs Clippers. Dejounte Murray (illness) is questionable Zion Williamson will play after missing March 1 at LA
Josh Lewenberg: Darko on the Murray/Shead incident-"After watching the film I thought we did not handle that situation the way we want, the way we were supposed to. Our players had conversations with each other. They know that's not the true image of our team... It's never going to happen again"

Law Murray: Trey Murphy III (shoulder) hasn't played since the All-Star break That changes TONIGHT as Murphy is available tonight at LA Dejounte Murray will also be available, as expected Zion Williamson (ankle) is questionable and has played in every Pelicans game since December 14.
Dejounte Murray: LETS CLEAR THE AIR CAUSE FUCK A SOURCE… Me Or My Agent Never Requested A Trade Out Of NEW ORLEANS!!!! Joe And The Whole Organization Know I Was Locked In To Come Back Better Than Ever To Help Make This Play In Push And Whatever Comes After That!! 😂😅 It’s Bouts To Get Fun!! 🍿
Dejounte Murray converted a slashing layup fewer than 20 seconds into his first game in nearly 13 months. He capped off his 13-point performance with another driving layup off the glass to give the New Orleans Pelicans a five-point lead with 1:04 to go in a 113-109 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. "I've been through a lot," Murray said. "I keep my chest out, chin up, smiling. And I'm just ready to see where it goes from here."
Dejounte Murray felt heavy. And each passing day felt heavier than the last. “A dark cloud” hovered above him, he says. Refusing to dissipate, the cloud enveloped his thoughts, his emotions. “Everything,” Murray says, “was just dark.” It was June 2024. The Atlanta Hawks had just traded him to New Orleans. There had been so much excitement in the air; hope for him to help turn around the Pelicans franchise by creating a formidable trio alongside Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram. Everything had been going well even before his change of scenery. Almost too well, he now surmises, looking back on this moment. Murray had been averaging a career high in points in Atlanta after receiving a hard-earned All-Star nod with San Antonio in 2022. From the outside, it seemed as if a new opportunity next to other young stars could lead him back to All-Star status in New Orleans.
