Dejounte Murray - Upgraded to probable Murray (personal) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bulls.
Impact Murray was away from the team for a few days while attending to a family emergency but returned Tuesday and was present for Wednesday's morning shootaround. With Zion Williamson (illness) sidelined, Murray should see plenty of usage versus Chicago if given the green light.

Zion Williamson - Officially out sick Williamson (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener versus Chicago, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Impact Williamson was forced to miss practice Tuesday due to an ailment, and it will sideline him for the Pelicans' Opening Night. The Pelicans will travel cross-country Thursday afternoon in advance of Friday's game versus Portland, and coach Willie Green expressed optimism that Williamson will make the trip.

Zion Williamson - Absent from shootaround Williamson (illness) was not present at Wednesday's morning shootaround, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Williams also missed practice Tuesday, and the Pelicans officially listed the forward as questionable. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to suit up against the Bulls, but if he does, he obviously won't be 100 percent.

Dejounte Murray - Goes through shootaround Murray (personal) was present at Wednesday's shootaround, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Murray was away from the team for a few days while attending to a family emergency, and the Pelicans threw a questionable tag on the guard. Given his presence at shootaround, it's likely that he's in the lineup Wednesday against the Bulls, but there's no official confirmation yet.

Jose Alvarado - Iffy against Chicago Alvarado is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Bulls due to a right knee contusion.
Impact It's unclear when Alvarado suffered his injury, but it could cause him to miss New Orleans' regular-season opener. If Alvarado is forced to sit out, Antonio Reeves and Jordan Hawkins are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Trey Murphy III - Still not cleared for contact Murphy (hamstring) said Tuesday he's making steady progress with his rehab but hasn't been cleared for sprinting or physical contact, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Impact Murphy suffered a right hamstring strain at the beginning of October and was given a three-week return timetable, giving him a slight chance to be ready for the regular-season opener. However, it appears he's still at least a week away from being cleared for game action and will likely miss multiple games. In Murphy's absence, Jordan Hawkins should see more minutes off the bench to begin the campaign.

Impact Murray has been away from the team for a few days while attending to a family emergency, but it sounds like he's gearing up for game action. Murray's conditioning levels following Tuesday's workout will likely determine his availability for the regular-season opener.

Zion Williamson - Dealing with illness Williamson didn't practice Tuesday due to an illness and will be a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bulls, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New...
Impact Williamson appeared in a career-high 70 regular-season games last season, averaging 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 31.5 minutes. It's disappointing to see the oft-injured forward on the injury report already, but Williamson should be back in action before long, even if he misses the regular-season opener.

Brandon Boston Jr. - Inks two-way deal Boston signed a two-way contract with the Pelicans on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Trey Murphy III - Agrees to four-year extension Murphy (hamstring) and the Pelicans agreed to a four-year, $112 million extension Monday, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
Impact Murphy is currently recovering from a hamstring strain and is questionable for Opening Night on Wednesday against the Bulls. Locking him up to a new contract was seemingly a no-brainer for the franchise, as Murphy's floor spacing will be crucial to their success. During the 2023-24 regular season, Murphy made 57 appearances with averages of 14.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 3.0 three-pointers.
