Dejounte Murray fires back at ‘social media coach’ with NSFW rant

After the New Orleans Pelicans' loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, guard Dejounte Murray posted a controversial social media message, alleging internal sabotage within the organization. The tweet compared the team's performance with and without Murray, suggesting the organization was plotting against him. Following this, a fan responded to Murray's claim, showing unflattering clips of his performance on court.

This sparked an NSFW rant by Murray, where he questioned the expertise of the alleged social media coach and demanded a serious discussion with the team. Murray urged everyone to ask the team individually about their feelings before jumping to conclusions about sabotage or scapegoating. The loss caused the Pelicans' season record to fall to 4-8, with a four-game losing streak.

Their current 3-0 record without Murray has contrasted sharply with their 1-8 record when he's on the court. Murray, who averages 13.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.6 steals per game, shot 43.1 percent from the field and 92.6 percent from the free-throw line during the season.
