Dejounte Murray Nearing Season Debut Next Week After Achilles Rehab

Dejounte Murray (New Orleans Pelicans), who tore his Achilles last January, is expected to make his season debut sometime next week. The star guard is in the final stages of rehab and fully participating in practice. While his return is imminent, Murray is almost certainly bound for a significant minutes restriction for at least his first several games back on the court. His return is also likely to cut into the playing time of Jeremiah Fears at point guard.
