Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Out for season with torn Achilles
Murray suffered a torn right Achilles tendon during Friday's game against the Celtics and will now miss the rest of the season, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Murray played 30 games for the Pelicans before suffering the Achilles tear Friday. This will be another costly loss for New Orleans, which has dealt with key players being in and out of the lineup during the 2024-25 campaign. The team will likely turn to Jose Alvarado and CJ McCollum to help shoulder the load for the rest of the season.

Green is in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the Celtics on Friday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Ruled out with stomach illness
Williamson (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.
After filling up the stat sheet in Wednesday's one-point loss to the Mavericks, finishing with 29 points, six rebounds, seven assists and two steals, Williamson will miss Friday's game against the defending NBA champions due to a stomach illness. The Pelicans could turn to Javonte Green and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to help shoulder the load in the star forward's absence against Boston.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Won't go Friday
Hawkins (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Boston.
Hawkins will miss his second consecutive contest due to a non-COVID illness, and his next opportunity to feature will come Monday against Denver. With the second-year pro on the shelf, Javonte Green and Brandon Boston are candidates for an uptick in playing time, especially if Zion Williamson (illness) joins Hawkins on the sideline.

Pelicans' Daniel Theis: Officially ruled out
Theis (thumb) won't play in Friday's game versus the Celtics.
Theis has been downgraded from doubtful to out Friday due to a sprained right thumb. Yves Missi, Karlo Matkovic and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are all candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Theis' next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Denver.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Iffy Friday
Williamson (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Boston.
Williamson is in jeopardy of missing Friday's contest while he deals with a non-COVID illness. If the star big man is sidelined, Javonte Green and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely see an uptick in playing time.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Questionable for Friday
Hawkins (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Boston.
Hawkins is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to a non-COVID illness. If the second-year pro is sidelined once again, Brandon Boston and Javonte Green are candidates for a slight bump in minutes.

Pelicans' Daniel Theis: Doubtful for Friday
Theis (thumb) has been listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Theis is having a less-than-stellar season in a bench role with the Pelicans. The veteran big man is averaging a career-low 4.3 points to go along with 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.3 minutes per game. From a fantasy perspective, he hasn't made a big impact during the 2024-25 campaign.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Probable for Friday
Murray (finger) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Murray may continue to play through his finger and elbow injuries. He's been listed as probable for Friday's game against the defending NBA champions. The injuries don't seem to bother him too much, as he's coming off an impressive performance in Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans, finishing with 27 points, five rebounds and six assists.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Rejoins rotation
Boston registered 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and four steals across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 137-136 loss to the Mavericks.
Boston hadn't received any playing time in each of New Orleans' previous five contests but logged 21 minutes against Dallas. This was likely primarily due to the absence of Jordan Hawkins (illness). With Boston already playing 40 of the 50 allowed NBA games as a two-way player, he will likely be used sparingly moving forward unless he's converted to a standard deal.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Leads all scorers despite loss
Murphy amassed 32 points (13-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 137-136 loss to the Mavericks.
Murphy continues to serve as arguably the Pelicans best player, scoring at least 20 points for the seventh time in his past 10 appearances. A lengthy ankle-related injury to Brandon Ingram has afforded Murphy a regular starting spot. Over the past month, he has delivered outstanding numbers, putting up 23.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 3.1 three-pointers and 2.4 combined steals and blocks in 37.2 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Fails to score in loss
Missi totaled zero points (0-4 FG), seven rebounds, one assist and four blocks in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 137-136 loss to the Mavericks.
Missi failed to score for the second straight game, although he did manage to contribute four blocks. As the Pelicans start to get healthy, Missi's opportunities have reduced regarding touches when he is on the floor. His role as the starter appears relatively safe, but as we have seen recently, that will not always translate into tangible offensive production.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Won't play Wednesday
Hawkins will not play Wednesday against the Mavericks due to a non-COVID-related illness.
Hawkins was a late addition to the injury report, presumably after feeling under the weather after waking up overnight. His next chance to play comes Friday against Boston. With Hawkins unavailable, the Pelicans could turn to Javonte Green and Jose Alvarado to pick up some extra minutes, and/or reopen a spot in the rotation for Brandon Boston.
