NEW ORLEANS -- Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray left Friday night's 118-116 loss to Boston in the first quarter due to an injury to his lower right leg.

Murray drove into the lane and took a shot, then went to chase his miss. But he fell to the court and grabbed at the area near his right foot. When he got up, he hobbled toward the nearby Pelicans bench.

Speaking after the game, New Orleans coach Willie Green said Murray was to undergo imaging on the leg. The team didn't have any additional updates beyond that.

The injury-riddled Pelicans were already playing without Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and Herb Jones.
