Takeaways
- The Pelicans started off the season with a victory, even though they were without Trey Murphy and Zion Williamson.
- Dejounte Murray shined in his Pelican debut, but fans will have to wait several weeks to see him on the court again since he fractured his hand at the end of the game and is now recovering from surgery. He is projected to be out 6-8 weeks. The curse of New Orleans athletes continues.
- Yves Missi played outstanding and he is going to be important to this team all season long.
- Jordan Hawkins and CJ McCollum were on fire from behind the three-point line -- a beautiful sight to see!
- Zion Williamson will be in the starting lineup on Friday against the Toronto Raptors on the road.
