DEJOUNTE MURRAY NEWS

Struggles with shot Monday Murray delivered six points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and a steal across 17 minutes in Monday's 106-104 preseason win over the Magic.

Impact Even though fantasy managers shouldn't put too much stock into preseason stats, Murray looked a bit rusty and struggled with his shot. However, he did look comfortable orchestrating the offense as a primary floor general, the same role in which he excelled last season when Trae Young was sidelined with a finger injury. Murray, who's all but penciled to open the 2024-25 campaign as the Pelicans' starting point guard, averaged a career-high 22.5 points, along with 6.4 assists and 5.3 rebounds, per game across 78 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

Dealt to New Orleans The Hawks traded Murray to the Pelicans in exchange for two first-round picks and Larry Nance on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murray averaged a career-high 22.5 points, along with 6.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 35.7 minutes across 78 games in 2023-24. However, his fit alongside Trae Young was troubling, especially on the defensive end, as the Hawks finished with a 36-46 record. In New Orleans, Murray will likely compete for a starting job in the backcourt with CJ McCollum and Brandon Ingram.
