Dejounte Murray Returns to Action, Unlikely to Play Friday

Dejounte Murray returned from rest to play 29 minutes in Thursday's 129-108 loss to the Pistons, recording 12 points (5-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Despite his return, he is not expected to be available for the second half of the Pelicans' back-to-back Friday against the Raptors. Murray remains a primary playmaker and a key player prop target for the team.
