Dejounte Murray Cleared, Juzang Faces Hand Fracture

Johnny Juzang, a key player for the Utah Jazz, has been a standout in the 2024-25 season but is currently sidelined with a hand fracture. Despite his injury, the Jazz are optimistic about his quick return, as he has provided crucial spacing and versatility to the team's offense. Juzang is questionable for the upcoming game against the Suns, where the Jazz might rely on Cody Williams and Patty Mills if he remains unavailable. Meanwhile, Dejounte Murray of the Pelicans, after dealing with right elbow soreness, has been cleared to start against the 76ers. Despite his recent limitations, Murray has continued to perform well, having recently scored 20 points against Portland and 29 points against Minnesota. His presence alongside CJ McCollum and others is expected to bolster the Pelicans' lineup.
