Dejounte Murray Sits Out Thursday for Reconditioning

Dejounte Murray (reconditioning) is out for Thursday's game against the Kings. The New Orleans Pelicans star guard is sitting out the first leg of this back-to-back set but is expected to return Friday when the Pelicans face the Suns in Phoenix. In his absence, Derik Queen figures to start in Murray's place, and Jeremiah Fears should see an uptick in playmaking responsibilities.
