Pelicans say Trey Murphy III will miss rest of the season with shoulder injuries
The breakout season for New Orleans forward Trey Murphy III is overMARCH 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Out for remainder of season Murphy sustained a season-ending torn labrum in his right shoulder during Monday's 127-81 loss to the Pistons, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Impact Murphy dove for a loose ball and exited to the locker room less than a minute into the game. The 24-year-old swingman was in the midst of a career-best year, and he contributed averages of 21.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 3.0 three-pointers, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks across 35.6 minutes per contest in 52 regular-season games entering Monday. He also shot a fairly respectable 45.4 percent from the field and 36.1 percent from downtown. Murphy will likely undergo surgery depending on the severity of the injury, though the Pelicans are expected to provide updates whenever appropriate.

Cunningham, Pistons top New Orleans 127-81; Pelicans' Murphy out for season with shoulder injury
Cade Cunningham had 24 points and eight assists, and the Detroit Pistons routed the New Orleans Pelicans 127-81MARCH 18 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Won't return Monday Murphy (shoulder) won't return to Monday's game against the Pistons due to a right shoulder injury, though his X-rays came back negative.
Impact Murphy exited to locker room after diving for a loose ball less than one minute into the game. He finished with no counting stats in that minute. The 24-year-old has been an extremely reliable option for the Pelicans of late, and while he's sidelined, Jordan Hawkins and Bruce Brown will likely see an uptick in playing time.
