Top Trey Murphy III News

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Leads New Orleans in blowout loss

    Murphy had 28 points (10-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal over 36 minutes during Thursday's 133-113 loss to the Rockets.

    Murphy delivered a stellar performance while setting a season-high mark in points, albeit in a losing effort. The 24-year-old is on pace to average a career-high 18.7 points per game, and with Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) sidelined, Murphy should continue to see increased opportunity on the offensive end. Over his last five outings, Murphy has averaged 21.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks across 36.8 minutes per contest.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Scores 21 points Thursday

    Murphy amassed 21 points (6-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 40 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 loss to the Kings.

    Even though CJ McCollum was the Pelicans' leading scorer in this tight loss Thursday, there's no question Murphy made his presence felt as well. He seems to have recovered the starting role due to Brandon Ingram's (ankle) absence, and Murphy has scored at least 20 points in his previous two outings with the first unit, so expect him to continue having a sizable role on offense for the time being. That shouldn't be surprising given how depleted the Pelicans are, though. Murphy is also on a roll of four straight games with more than 15 points, averaging 20.3 points and shooting 53.1 percent from the field in that span.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Posts 25 points in starting role

    Murphy chipped in 25 points (8-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 loss to the Spurs.

    With Brandon Ingram (ankle) sidelined, Murphy slid into the starting lineup and produced his highest-scoring total of the season. It's a spot he may occupy for some time, as Ingram's ankle strain is reportedly serious, adding to the Pelicans' litany of injury absences. Murphy has also been a frequent member of the injury report this season, but his fantasy stock should get a big boost if he can stay healthy.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Back in starting lineup Sunday

    Murphy will enter the starting lineup in Sunday's game against the Spurs, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    With Brandon Ingram (ankle) sidelined indefinitely, Murphy will slot into the starting five. The 24-year-old forward has started in nine of 11 possible matchups thus far, during which he has averaged 17.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 32.6 minutes per game.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Sparks bench with 19 points

    Murphy ended Thursday's 126-124 win over Phoenix with 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes.

    Murphy retreated to the bench Thursday due to the return of Brandon Ingram and Herbert Jones. Murphy still managed to play 34 minutes and led the Pelicans' reserves in scoring, and it appears he should have some meaningful playing time in a reserve role moving forward. Through 10 regular-season games (nine starts), Murphy is averaging 17.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 32.6 minutes per game.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Moving back to bench

    Murphy is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Suns, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    The Pelicans will have Brandon Ingram and Herbert Jones back in the starting lineup, so Murphy will head to the bench. This will be the first time Murphy comes off the bench this season.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Shooting woes continue

    Murphy ended with 11 points (3-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 118-85 loss to the Knicks.

    Murphy was off the mark from the field in Sunday's blowout loss, and he's struggled to find a rhythm after missing the first 10 games of the season due to a hamstring injury. The 24-year-old sharpshooter is converting just 30.3 percent of his threes and averaging a career-worst 1.5 turnovers across eight games, but he's softening the blow a bit for fantasy managers by putting up a career-high 17.8 points and 5.4 rebounds in 31.9 minutes per contest. The injury-riddled Pelicans figure to continue to give Murphy the green light from downtown while the team is missing Brandon Ingram (calf) and Zion Williamson (hamstring), and the forward should continue to see a boost in usage while the two stars are sidelined.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Scores 21 points in return

    Murphy finished with 21 points (8-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 120-109 loss to the Grizzlies.

    Murphy scored at least 20 points for the third consecutive game, albeit on inefficient shooting. Although his numbers have been decent since making his season debut, Murphy continues to be eased back into the rotation, having missed two of the last five games. Across seven games, he is averaging 18.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers in 32.4 minutes per game. He should continue to play a key role for the Pelicans, with an increased workload potentially just over the horizon.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Will suit up Friday

    Murphy (knee) is available for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies.

    Murphy will return to game action after missing Wednesday's loss to Toronto due to a left knee bone bruise. The 24-year-old has missed significant time this season due to a right hamstring strain and a knee injury, and it wouldn't come as a surprise if he operates under a minutes restriction on Friday. In six regular-season outings, Murphy has averaged 18.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks across 31.5 minutes per game.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Questionable for Friday

    Murphy (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

    Murphy may miss a second straight game due to a left knee contusion. He's one of four Pelicans listed as questionable, so it's currently unclear what their rotation will look like. If Murphy is cleared, he may face limitations.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Downgraded to out

    Murphy (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Murphy and Brandon Ingram (calf) have both been downgraded from questionable to out, but Dejounte Murray is cleared to make his return from a lengthy absence and CJ McCollum is available again. Javonte Green and Brandon Boston are candidates for elevated roles again, especially if Jordan Hawkins (back) is downgraded to out.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Back on injury report

    Murphy is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to a left knee contusion.

    After missing 10 straight games to start the season, Murphy has appeared in six of the last eight matchups, with his only absences coming during the second half of back-to-back sets. The sharpshooter appears to have found a groove over his past two appearances, totaling 48 points (18-36 FG, 7-20 3Pt), 10 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and a steal in 78 minutes.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Pours in 24 points

    Murphy had 24 points (9-19 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to Indiana.

    Making just his sixth appearance of the campaign, Murphy scored 24 points for the second game in a row and seems to have found his stride. He's averaging 22.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in his last three outings, but his usage could come down soon. Dejounte Murray (hand) is targeting a Wednesday return and Brandon Ingram (calf) is considered day-to-day.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: 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.

    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).

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Absent from injury report

    Murphy (hamstring) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Warriors.

    Murphy will be ready to suit up for Friday's matchup after being held out of the second half of a back-to-back Wednesday against the Cavs. He's appeared in four matchups so far this season, averaging 15.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 27.8 minutes.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Won't play Wednesday

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

    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 Robinson-Earl are likely to see massive workloads.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: 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.

    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.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Will play Tuesday

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

    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.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Sitting out Saturday

    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.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: 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.

    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.
