• New Orleans guard left game against Celtics on Friday
• ESPN first reported Murray will miss rest of season

Dejounte Murray’s season is over, with the New Orleans Pelicans confirming Saturday that the standout guard ruptured his right achilles tendon and now faces a lengthy rehab process.

It’s the latest blow in an injury-dominated season for the Pelicans, who came into the year hoping a star trio of Murray, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram would be able to lead them back to the playoffs.
