On October 25, Beijing time, the Pelicans officially released the latest announcement that Murray will be out indefinitely, and Murphy will be out for at least two weeks. Pelicans coach Willie Green also said that Zion, who was out of the opener due to illness, is expected to return in the next game against the Trail Blazers.
"Trey Murphy III, who suffered a right hamstring strain on Oct. 2, is progressing well in the first phase of his rehab and has been cleared to begin the recovery phase of the rehab process, with further updates to be provided in approximately two weeks," the Pelicans' official bulletin read. Dejounte Murray suffered a fracture in his left hand in the fourth quarter of the last game against the Bulls, and a post-game examination confirmed the injury, and he will be suspended indefinitely with further updates to be provided in due course. โ
Murray started the opening game for 29 minutes, shooting 4-of-15 from the field and 0-of-3 from three-point range for a quasi-triple-double of 14 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists. 2:21 before the end, Murray was fouled by LaVine outside the three-point line, and it was in this round that he fractured his left hand, and Murray did not leave the game immediately after three free throws, but was replaced at the end of the game with one minute left in the game. The Pelicans eventually beat the Bulls 123-111.
Speaking about Murray's debut after the game, Ingram said: "Murray shares the ball well and stops on the defensive end, and he led the whole team today. But unexpectedly, Murray suffered a serious injury on his debut and is now going to be out indefinitely.
There is also good news for the Pelicans, Zion, who was sick and didn't play in the last game, participated in the team's practice as normal, and coach Willie Green said that Zion looks ready for tomorrow's game against the Trail Blazers.
