Could return around January
"He is making progress. He is doing better. Every single day, he is doing a little more," Charania said. "I would look at right after New Year's as to where Dejounte Murray could pinpoint to make his return." Recent reports regarding Murray have been positive, but it's essential to note that he'll likely face significant restrictions once he receives clearance to return. With his upside and impressive fantasy resume, however, he'll certainly be worth stashing in most formats.

Says he's feeling good
Williamson, who was shut down on March 19 of last season due to a back bone bruise, is presumably healthy heading into training camp. Trey Murphy noted at Media Day on Tuesday that Williamson is noticeably slimmer, and the front office really talked him up. The talent is undeniable, but his durability will be the key to his having a successful fantasy campaign.

Deemed 100 percent for camp
Hawkins missed the final eight games of the 2024-25 regular season with a nagging back problem, but the guard said he's "1,000 percent" better. The Pelicans will look a lot different in 2025-26, as Trey Murphy, Herbert Jones and Zion Williamson are all healthy, plus the team will be welcoming some new additions in Jordan Poole and Jeremiah Fears. Hawkins is penciled in as the backup shooting guard, but minutes will not be easy to come by.
