Good to go Wednesday Murphy (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Murphy, Zion Williamson (foot), Brandon Ingram (ankle) and CJ McCollum (ankle) are all good to go after being considered game-time decisions. Murphy has been playing well recently and is coming off a 26-point (9-14 FG, 6-11 3Pt) performance against the Knicks on Tuesday, but he figures to see a reduced role with the Pelicans at full strength Wednesday.
