The New Orleans Pelicans started off their season strong in the win column, beating the Chicago Bulls 123-111 on Wednesday night at Smoothie King Center. Unfortunately the roster was dealt a blow in the process.
Offseason acquisition and former All-Star Dejounte Murray, suiting up in his first regular-season game for the Pelicans, suffered a fractured hand at some point during the victory. He managed to finish off the game and posted a statline of 14 points, 10 assists, and eight rebounds. But he will miss "extended" time, per ESPN's Shams Charania.
