Murphy won't play in Saturday's game versus the Lakers due to right hamstring injury management. Murphy will sit out the second leg of New Orleans' back-to-back set due to maintenance for a hamstring injury that forced him to miss the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign. Murphy should be able to suit up for Tuesday's matchup in Dallas.

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. 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.

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

Murphy (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Nets. Murphy was previously upgraded to probable, so this news isn't a big surprise. With the amount of injuries in New Orleans, Murphy will likely step into a high-usage role right away. However, it's unclear if he'll have any playing time restrictions.

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