In a highly anticipated return, Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray is set to make his comeback on Tuesday night as New Orleans takes on the Golden State Warriors. After a long recovery from a ruptured Achilles tendon last season, Murray is ready to hit the court once again.
Speaking to the media on Monday, Murray expressed his excitement and readiness, saying he feels great "spiritually, mentally, and physically." His focus is clear: "I’m just excited to go get a win. That’s the only thing that matters to me."
While Murray is gearing up for his return, the Pelicans have some injury updates to consider. Guard Micah Peavy participated in Monday’s practice despite a toe issue, but center Yves Missi and forward Trey Murphy were absent from the session.
On the Warriors' side, they'll be without their star guard Steph Curry, who is sidelined with a knee injury. This absence could shift the dynamic of the game, making Murray's return even more pivotal for the Pelicans.
Fans can catch the action with broadcast coverage starting at 6:30 p.m. on the Gulf Coast Sports and Entertainment Network. It’s a matchup that promises excitement, with Murray’s return adding an extra layer of intrigue.
