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

Available to play Murphy (knee) is good to go for Monday's game against Dallas, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murphy was given the night off Saturday against Dallas for the second leg of a back-to-back set, but he'll return along with CJ McCollum, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram. Murphy has struggled in January so far, as he's shooting 34.2 percent from the field and 32.3 percent from beyond the arc through four games.

Likely to return Monday Murphy (knee) is probable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Murphy missed Saturday's game against Dallas due to a knee issue but will likely be able to return for Monday's rematch. Most of the Pelicans' key players will also likely be back in action, so Murphy should see a relatively normal workload if he's cleared to suit up Monday.

Out against Dallas Murphy (knee) will not be available for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact Murphy will join Brandon Ingram (Achilles), Zion Williamson (rest) and CJ McCollum (ankle) on the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The Pelicans will miss Murphy's floor spacing, so it's likely that Jordan Hawkins plays a prominent role Saturday.

Questionable to face Dallas Murphy is questionable to face the Mavericks on Sunday due to left knee tendonitis.

Impact Murphy logged 28 minutes in Friday's 125-113 loss to the Nuggets, racking up six points (2-9 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and two steals. He's been finding ways to produce regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, but his absence might affect the team's depth given his two-way contributions.

Will be available Murphy (knee) will be available for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murphy will shed his probable tag after he was initially considered questionable to suit up. CJ McCollum (ankle), Zion Williamson (quad) and Brandon Ingram (Achilles) are also good to go.

Likely to suit up against Denver Murphy (knee) is now listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Nuggets.

Impact Murphy has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with left knee tendinitis. With most of New Orleans' regulars expected to play, Murphy will likely be the team's first option off the bench at the forward position.

Iffy for Friday Murphy is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to left knee tendinitis.

Impact Murphy missed three games to begin the month due to his knee injury, but he's been back in action over the last three matchups. During that time, he's averaged 10.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.7 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per game. If he's available, he could take on a slightly larger role than usual since several of the Pelicans' starters are questionable for Friday's matchup.

Pelicans Highlights: Trey Murphy III with 16 Points vs. Golden State Warriors

JANUARY 11 • YOUTUBE

Moves to second unit Murphy will return to the bench for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact This is an expected move with Zion Williamson (quadriceps) returning from a one-game absence. Murphy fared well in his fill-in start Sunday against the Kings with 11 points, five assists, two rebounds, one steal and three triples in 24 minutes.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Enters starting lineup Murphy is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Sacramento.

Impact Despite New Orleans announcing Saturday that Murphy would remain on a restriction of 20-to-25 minutes Sunday, he will slot in with the starters in place of Zion Williamson (quad). Murphy has boomed on occasion but hasn't settled into a rhythm yet this season. Naji Marshall and Larry Nance will likely play key roles off the bench.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Remains on minutes restriction Murphy will be on a 20-25 minutes restriction for Sunday's game versus the Kings, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Murphy played 17 minutes against the Clippers after missing the previous three games with a right knee injury. Murphy underwent surgery on the same knee in the offseason, so the Pelicans are treating it cautiously.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in return Murphy had three points (1-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 17 minutes during Friday's 111-95 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Murphy sat out the Pelicans' last three games due to a knee issue. He showed some rust in Friday's loss when he missed eight of his nine shots and shot 16.7 percent from beyond the arc. Murphy was productive in December before his knee injury and averaged 14.8 points on 47.2 percent shooting (including 42.3 percent from three), 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 27.0 minutes per game last month.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Will be available Murphy (knee) will be available for Friday's game against the Clippers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayunereports.

Impact Murphy will be back in the mix after missing the past three games for the Pelicans. He's been solid in 12 appearances this season, posting averages of 14.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.8 three-pointers.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Murphy (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Murphy has missed the last three games due to a knee issue, and he's been diagnosed with left knee tendinitis. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Friday's matchup, but if he's sidelined, Jordan Hawkins and Dyson Daniels will likely see increased run for the Pelicans.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out against Minnesota Murphy (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves and remains day-to-day moving forward, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Murphy will miss his third straight game Wednesday after being downgraded from questionable to out with left knee soreness. Jordan Hawkins and Dyson Daniels will likely continue to see extended minutes in his absence. Murphy's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Clippers.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Murphy (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Minnesota.

Impact Murphy has missed the past two games for the Pelicans, but he remains day-to-day. If he's unable to return Wednesday for the second leg of this back-to-back set, the Pelicans could turn to Jordan Hawkins again. On Tuesday versus the Nets, Hawkins scored 11 points with one assist, two blocks and a pair of three-pointers in 26 minutes.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Out Tuesday Murphy (knee) will not play Tuesday against Brooklyn, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

Impact Murphy's next opportunity to take the court will be the back half of the Pelicans' back-to-back Wednesday against Minnesota. CJ McCollum will be leaned on, while Naji Marshall should be in-line for a 20-minute workload with Jordan Hawkins joining the rotation as well.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Murphy (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Impact Murphy missed Sunday's win over the Lakers and is in danger of missing another contest Tuesday due to left knee soreness. He had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee this offseason and didn't make his season debut until Dec. 1, so the Pelicans will presumably be cautious with the sharpshooter moving forward.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Sunday Murphy will not play Sunday against the Lakers, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet.

Impact Despite having two full days of rest, Murphy will not suit up Sunday due to left knee soreness. He has exceeded a 25-minute workload just five times this season, with three occasions coming to New Orleans last four games, but it's unclear if his surgically-repaired left knee is feeling the fatigue or if Sunday's absence is more maintenance related. Regardless, Jordan Hawkins was recalled from New Orleans' G League affiliate Sunday morning, so he'll likely factor in the rotation alongside enlarged roles for Naji Marshall and Herb Jones.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Added to injury report Murphy is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers due to left knee soreness.

Impact Murphy saw his playing time drop to 23 minutes Thursday against the Jazz, though it's unclear if this was a result of the injury. His availability should come into focus following morning shootaround and pregame warmups.

DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited contributions Thursday Murphy racked up six points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in 23 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Jazz.

Impact Coach Willie Green deployed a 10-man rotation Thursday, notably giving Larry Nance (ribs) 25 minutes in his return from injury. Murphy struggled with his shot and did practically nothing on the boards and defense, making this a bit of an outlier performance. Given what we saw last year, Murphy should be rostered in standard fantasy leagues, but the Pelicans' dense and shockingly healthy rotation may cap his upside in the immediate future.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 14 points off bench Murphy ended Saturday's 106-104 loss to the Rockets with 14 points (4-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and two steals across 34 minutes.

Impact The Pelicans didn't have a good offensive showing, but Murphy made his presence felt off the bench, as he continues to make an impact in the second unit. Murphy has scored in double digits in all but one of his 10 appearances while averaging 16.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.7 steals per game.
