Season debut not imminent

Pelicans head coach James Borrego said Sunday that Murray (Achilles) is "making a lot of progress" but doesn't appear to be close to making his season debut, Rod Walker of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. "We hope to get him back in our building here soon. He's doing a lot of work getting ready to get back here," Borrego said of Murray. "I say in the next month we'll have a little bit more clarity on where he's at. But he's made a lot of progress. Significant progress."

Lacking clear target date for debut

Pelicans interim head coach James Borrego said Dec. 19 that Murray (Achilles) is "working his tail off" in his rehab, but the veteran point guard remains without a definitive target date for his 2025-26 debut, Dylan Sanders of Roundtable.io reports. "I can't say where he is on the schedule, I wish I could be more honest about that. He's doing great is what I can say," Borrego said of Murray. "It's impressive how far he's comes, where he's at. He works extremely hard. We'll have him back soon, how soon I don't know. We're working through that right now."
