Trey Murphy III News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Scores team-high 24 points Murphy ended with 24 points (9-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 38 minutes during Friday's 112-108 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Murphy was impressive in his return to the starting lineup after a one-game absence due to injury management, and he led the Pelicans in scoring while posting a season-high output in that category. Murphy has scored at least 17 points in his last three outings, and he should continue to hold a steady role on offense as long as the Pelicans remain depleted due to the absences of players such as Zion Williamson (hamstring), CJ McCollum (thigh) and Dejounte Murray (hand).

Won't play Wednesday Murphy (hamstring) will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

Impact Murphy is being held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. In Tuesday's 132-91 loss to Dallas, he recorded 19 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 29 minutes . With Brandon Ingram (ankles) also sidelined, Brandon Boston, Javonte Green and Jeremiah Earl-Robinson are likely to see massive workloads.

Scores 19 points in return Murphy amassed 19 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 132-91 loss to Dallas.

Impact Murphy returned to the lineup after missing the previous game as part of his post-injury management plan, scoring a team-high 19 points. The Pelicans are barely treading water right now as they wait for their stars to get back on the floor. Murphy should continue to be a solid source of points and threes, even once the supporting cast returns.

Will play Tuesday Murphy (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact As expected, Murphy will return to action Tuesday after resting during Saturday's loss to the Lakers, which was the second leg of a back-to-back set. Murphy has scored in double figures in all three of his appearances this season, averaging 14.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 27.3 minutes. With CJ McCollum (thigh), Herbert Jones (shoulder), Jordan Hawkins (back), Dejounte Murray (hand), Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Jose Alvarado (hamstring) all still sidelined, Murphy should have the green light versus Dallas.

Looks rusty in season debut Murphy finished Monday's 107-105 loss to Brooklyn with 12 points (4-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two blocks across 26 minutes.

Impact It wasn't difficult to tell that Murphy was seeing his first action of the 2024-25 campaign after sitting the first three weeks with a right hamstring injury. However, it was encouraging to see him score in double figures despite his shooting struggles, and he made an unexpected contribution on the defensive end by swatting two shots. It's worth noting that Murphy logged 26 minutes after it was reported he would be on a 20-minute cap Monday night, so the team must've felt comfortable enough with his health to keep him on the floor for a few additional minutes.

Cam Thomas' late shooting lifts the Nets over the reeling Pelicans, 107-105

Playing Monday on capped minutes Murphy will be limited to 20 minutes of playing time Monday against the Nets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Murphy strained his right hamstring during training camp in early October, which caused him to miss the entire preseason and the Pelicans' first 10 games of the 2024-25 regular season. Even with injuries to Zion Williamson (hamstring), Dejounte Murray (hand), CJ McCollum (thigh), Jordan Hawkins (back) and Herbert Jones (shoulder), however, Murphy will be brought on slowly and operate under a minutes restriction Monday. Murphy appeared in 57 games (23 starts) for the Pelicans during the 2023-24 regular season and averaged 14.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 29.6 minutes per game.

Available to play Murphy (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact Murphy was previously upgraded to probable, so this news isn't a big surprise. With the amount of injuries in New Orleans, it's very likely that Murphy steps into a high-usage role right away. It's unclear if he'll have any minutes restrictions, however.

NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Officially probable Murphy (hamstring) is probable for Monday's game against the Nets.

Impact Murphy is on track to make his season debut Monday, as he said Sunday that he'll suit up versus Brooklyn. This is great news for the Pelicans, who will still be without Zion Williamson (hamstring), Dejounte Murray (hand), CJ McCollum (thigh), Jordan Hawkins and Herbert Jones (shoulder) for at least a few more weeks. Given all the injuries, Murphy will likely slide into the Pelicans' starting lineup eventually, but he may face some restrictions at first.

Targeting Monday for season debut Murphy (hamstring) has a target of Monday's game versus the Nets to make his season debut, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

Impact Murphy has missed the first 10 games of the 2024-25 campaign due to a strained right hamstring. While the 24-year-old forward will likely be eased back into the rotation, there should be plenty of minutes up for grabs with Zion Williamson (hamstring), Jordan Hawkins (back), Herbert Jones (shoulder), CJ McCollum (thigh) and Dejounte Murray (hand) all dealing with injuries.

NOVEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Orlando Murphy (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Friday's game versus the Magic, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

Impact Murphy has been downgraded from doubtful to out Friday due a strained right hamstring that has kept him sidelined for the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign. Murphy's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Brooklyn.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Friday Murphy (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Murphy has yet to play this season while recovering from a strained right hamstring. Although Murphy is unlikely to suit up Friday, his status being listed as doubtful instead of out is a good sign that he is nearing a return to action.

Impact Murphy continues to deal with a right hamstring strain and will miss at least the first two weeks of the regular season. Until Murphy is officially cleared to return Jordan Hawkins and Javonte Green should continue to receive increased playing time.

Still not cleared for contact Murphy (hamstring) said Tuesday he's making steady progress with his rehab but hasn't been cleared for sprinting or physical contact, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murphy suffered a right hamstring strain at the beginning of October and was given a three-week return timetable, giving him a slight chance to be ready for the regular-season opener. However, it appears he's still at least a week away from being cleared for game action and will likely miss multiple games. In Murphy's absence, Jordan Hawkins should see more minutes off the bench to begin the campaign.
