Report: Pelicans G Dejounte Murray to return Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray is set to return from a broken hand on Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors, NBA insider Chris Haynes reported Monday.

Murray injured his left hand on opening night and was expected to miss four to six weeks following surgery in late October.

He was hurt in New Orleans’ season-opening 123-111 victory against the visiting Chicago Bulls on Oct. 23. The injury occurred with 2:21 to play in the fourth quarter and the Pelicans leading by 12.

Murray attempted a 3-pointer, was fouled by Zach LaVine and fell to the floor. He was in some discomfort as he was helped up but went to the foul line and made two of three attempts before departing.

Murray, 28, averaged a career-high 22.5 points to go with 5.3 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 78 starts with the Atlanta Hawks last season. In 473 career games (402 starts), he has averages of 15.4 points, 5.3 assists and 5.8 rebounds with the San Antonio Spurs, Hawks and Pelicans.

The Pelicans acquired Murray from Atlanta in a July trade. The Hawks received Dyson Daniels, E.J. Liddell, Larry Nance Jr., Cody Zeller and two first-round draft picks.

He made the All-Star team in 2021-22 with the Spurs, who drafted him in the first round (29th overall) in 2016 out of the University of Washington.
