Dejounte Murray returns to NBA after Achilles injury

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray returned to the NBA after a year out with a torn Achilles, scoring 13 points in a 113-109 victory over the Golden State Warriors.

Murray played just 25 minutes in his comeback but looked like his old self, assisting on three baskets and grabbing rebounds. His teammates celebrated his return in the locker room, with coach James Borrego praising his leadership.
