## Summary

Dejounte Murray has requested a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans, and the team says it will consider options that serve its interests. The request follows a public dispute over the team’s results and comes as the Pelicans have struggled, leaving Murray’s future with the franchise uncertain.

Murray, 30, suggested in a since-deleted post that “sabotage” was affecting the team, noting New Orleans had gone 1-8 with him playing and 3-0 without him this season. The Phoenix Suns have reportedly expressed interest. Since arriving from Atlanta in 2024, Murray has played 54 games for the Pelicans after a fractured hand and a torn Achilles; he earns $32.8 million this season and has a $30.8 million player option for 2027-28.
