New Orleans Pelicans: New Orleans Pelicans have been handed yet another setback after Dejounte Murray exited the game during the first quarter in the 118-116 loss to the Boston Celtics at the Smoothie King Center.

According to a report by ESPN, Murray suffered a torn Achilles tendon which will rule him out for the remainder of the 2024-25 NBA season. Murray chased the ball after missing a jumper but ended up falling to the floor before limping off the court.

"Extremely difficult, when you see a guy that means so much to our team and puts the work in to go down like that. Those are the challenges that we've been going through pretty much all season," Pelicans coach Willie Green said after the game.
