Back on the court, Dejounte Murray is “hungry”
In the brotherhood of the seriously injured, who suffered from a ruptured Achilles tendon in the 2024/25 season. Dejounte Murray was one of the first touchdowns, and also the most forgotten, as Damian Lillard, Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton were all hit during the playoffs, and within a few weeks of each other, which had a bigger impact.
The Pelicans playmaker was injured on January 31, 2025 in the midst of a disastrous season for New Orleans. Thirteen months later he completed his Way of the Cross and found a word against the Warriors.
“I’ve been through a lot. I’ve puffed up my chest, held my head high and smiled. I’m ready to see where this takes me.”, he said after spending 25 minutes with his teammates.
Dejunte Murray collected 13 points on 5/11 shooting and 3 assists, but also 5 turnovers, an obvious sign of a lack of rhythm. “He’s able to keep everyone involved even when we’re frustrated”slips Zion Williamson.
“He seemed to be the same as before, as if he lacked nothing”refereed by his coach James Borrego. “In the first match, I felt that he was present on both sides of the field. He was fantastic. I’m really proud and happy for him.”
To make matters worse, the Pelicans won and the players were able to celebrate the return of their teammate with dignity. But more than the group’s gestures, the former Atlanta player is mostly focused on the future. “It was great, but I’m ready for the next game”assures us with 23 games to go. “I’m hungry. I’m starving.”
