Dejounte Murray was in the Pelicans starting lineup Wednesday, the clearest sign that whatever toe issue was attached to his name in the headline was not enough to keep him out. The update gives him the green light for the day’s game and leaves the rest to what happens on the floor.
That is why his name is drawing attention now: a starting decision on a Wednesday is a live roster call, not background noise. NBC Sports attached the toe issue to Murray in the headline, but the material available does not say how severe it is, whether it is lingering, or whether it changes anything beyond this one game.
There is no added game report, injury explanation or timeline here, only the headline and disclaimer text. That means the only hard fact is that Murray was starting Wednesday, while the condition behind that decision remains unstated. For now, the question is not whether he was in the lineup. It is how much that toe issue mattered in the first place.
