Dejounte Murray said he plans to return to New Orleans' lineup Wednesday night from a fractured left hand, while also disclosing his absence during the final days of the preseason was because his mother had a stroke.

Pelicans' guard Dejounte Murray is expected to return Wednesday vs. Raptors. He's been out with a broken hand. He's also had to deal with his mom's health issues.
