New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III received his payday on Monday as he signed a rookie contract extension. According to NBA Insider Marc Stein, the former 17th-overall pick signed a four-year, $112 million contract extension. Murphy has had some injury issues over the last couple of seasons but has still turned himself into an important piece to the Pelicans' success. Last season, he averaged 14.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 3.0 threes while playing 29.6 minutes per game. The addition of Dejounte Murray will likely take some opportunities away, but Murphy is still a solid contributor in category fantasy formats.
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (hamstring) will likely miss the start of the season. The 24-year-old sustained a right hamstring strain in Wednesday's practice, and the team announced that Murphy III will be re-evaluated in three weeks. New Orleans starts its campaign on Oct. 23 against Chicago. Murphy III mostly came off the bench for the Pelicans last term but continued to play an integral part in the rotation, averaging 29.6 minutes per game. Jordan Hawkins and Matt Ryan could get extra action without Murphy III.
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III had an eight-point outing on Wednesday as the team suffered a blowout loss in Game 2 against the Thunder. The 23-year-old saw his shot disappear after leading the Pelicans with 21 points in the series opener. He finished with 3-for-8 shooting and made only two of six attempts from three-point land. Murphy III grabbed five rebounds and swatted away one shot while handing out two assists. The Pelicans will look to produce a bounce-back performance on Saturday at home, with Murphy III set to remain Zion Williamson's (hamstring) fill-in in the starting unit.
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (calf) will play against Indiana on Wednesday. Following a trip to New York on Tuesday, the Pelicans complete a back-to-back, and Murphy III was initially listed as questionable for the game with a left calf contusion. Murphy III led all scorers with 26 points against the Knicks on Tuesday, but CJ McCollum's (ankle) return means he will have to settle for a smaller role in Wednesday's game.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (calf) is now questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. A left calf contusion has made Murphy a late addition to the injury report, clouding his availability for the second end of New Orleans' back-to-back. Considering the sharpshooting wing and a host of Pelicans stars are questionable Wednesday, Jonas Valanciunas and Herbert Jones could be focal points. Naji Marshall and Jordan Hawkins are names to watch in fantasy basketball based on who is active for the Pels in an uptempo environment against the NBA's top scoring offense and a matchup that features the second-highest implied point total (237.5) on Wednesday's six-game slate.
