Dejounte Murray reportedly feared he broke his hand in the Pelicans' debut

Dejounte Murray's debut with the New Orleans Pelicans could be his only game for a while.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the trader who acquired him in the offseason is feared to have broken his left hand in the Pelicans' season-opening win over the Chicago Bulls. More testing will likely follow before the team decides on a schedule.

The injury apparently occurred late in the fourth quarter, when New Orleans was leading 119-107. He landed off balance after Bulls guard Zach LaVine invaded his landing spot, resulting in a hard fall with his hands bracing him.

Murray drew a foul but was clearly in pain. He still shot his free throws and stayed in the game until the first minute.

Murray scored 14 points on 4 of 15 shooting with 10 assists, eight rebounds, one steal and one turnover in a 123-111 win.

The Pelicans traded for Murray in June, sending two first-round draft picks, center Larry Nance Jr. and guard Dyson Daniels, to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for a versatile and talented guard that Atlanta seemingly never matched with.

Murray seemed to fit well in the backcourt next to CJ McCollum, but the Pelicans might have to wait a while before they can really see him in game action.
