For his part, Murray -- who underwent surgery Feb. 5, 2025 to address his torn right Achilles tendon -- hasn't provided an update since the Pelicans' media availability day back in September regarding where he stands in his rehab program. The 29-year-old hasn't necessarily hit any snags in his recovery, but Borrego noted that he couldn't "say for sure" that Murray will play any point in 2025-26 until the Pelicans get a chance to evaluate him live on the court during practices or scrimmages. At the very least, Borrego's comment about the Pelicans hoping to have more clarity on Murray's status in the next month would seem to indicate that New Orleans isn't counting on Murray making it back before the All-Star break in mid-February. In the meantime, rookie first-round pick Jeremiah Fears will continue to serve as the Pelicans' starting point guard amid Murray's absence.
Jones, who has missed the past seven games for New Orleans, was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest. He is getting closer to a return, however. His next chance to play comes Friday against Memphis.
Alvarado has already missed three games in a row with left oblique soreness, and it sounds like the Pelicans want to give him even more time to get the issue resolved. With the guard staying on the shelf, Bryce Mc Gowens has played at least 26 minutes in three straight contests and seems to be the direct fantasy beneficiary of Alvarado's absence.
