Murray will miss the rest of the season after tearing his Achilles tendon Friday night.

ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania is reporting Murray suffered a torn Achilles tendon and will miss the rest of the season.That is a huge blow to the Pelicans who are a disappointing 12–37 after losing to the Celtics on Friday.

Already this season, forward Brandon Ingram missed 21 games and counting after suffering a sprained ankle, while Zion Williamson missed nearly two months with a hamstring injury. Those are the Pelicans' leading scorers, while Murray, a former All-Star, is a key part of the rotation. The Pelicans gave up a lot to land Murray from the Atlanta Hawks this offseason, sending Dyson Daniels, E.J. Liddell, Larry Nance Jr., Cody Zeller and two first-round picks in exchange for the 28-year-old guard.

So far this season, Murray is averaging 17.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7.6 assists and a career-high 2.1 steals in 33.5 minutes per game.Ryan Phillips is a senior writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
