Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Expected to play Wednesday
Murphy (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
The star forward sat out the second leg of the Pelicans' latest back-to-back set due to bilateral patellar tendinopathy, but he's set to return to action Wednesday. Saddiq Bey is likely to shift back to the bench but should maintain a significant role.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Out Monday
Murphy (knees) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Golden State.
Murphy will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set due to bilateral patellar tendinopathy. The 26-year-old wing's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Brooklyn, and his absence should open up additional minutes for the likes of Herbert Jones, Saddiq Bey and Bennedict Mathurin.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Strikes for game-high 26 on Sunday
Murphy produced 26 points (9-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 139-123 loss to the Clippers.
The 26 points led all scorers on the night, as the Pelicans ran a very top-heavy offense -- Murphy, Zion Williamson and Jeremiah Fears all scored 25-plus, but only one of their teammates even reached double digits. The performance also tied Murphy's scoring high for the season, while the rebounds were also a new personal best for 2026-27. Through nine games, the 26-year-old forward is averaging 15.6 points, 4.8 boards, 3.6 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.0 steals.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Available Friday
Murphy (knees) is available for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.
As expected, Murphy is good to go after initially being listed as probable and going through shootaround. The sharpshooter was probable ahead of Wednesday's game in Utah but was ultimately ruled out, though it looks like that move was precautionary. Over his first seven appearances this season, Murphy has averaged 14.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 33.0 minutes per game.

Murphy (knees) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against Utah.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Downgraded to questionable

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Probable for Wednesday
Murphy (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game versus the Jazz.
Murphy played through the knee issues and logged 40 minutes in Monday's 135-134 win over the Grizzlies, so it clearly didn't impact his playing time. It appears he'll continue to push through the pain Wednesday.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Will play Monday
Murphy (knee) will play Monday against the Grizzlies.
Murphy is no longer on the injury report after previously carrying a probable tag. Through six regular-season games, he's averaging 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.2 dimes.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Probable for Monday
Murphy (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Murphy is dealing with bilateral patella tendinopathy, leaving him probable to suit up versus the 6-0 Grizzlies. If he's forced to sit out Monday, Saddiq Bey would stand as the primary beneficiary alongside Trendon Watford, with Bey the likely candidate to join the starting lineup.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Bounces back Thursday
Murphy finished with 19 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and a steal across 32 minutes in Thursday's 132-120 win over the Kings.
Murphy delivered a balanced offensive performance, contributing as both a perimeter scorer and secondary facilitator. His seven three-point attempts reinforced his importance as a floor-spacing option alongside Zion Williamson, although his shooting efficiency from deep remained inconsistent. Murphy's established scoring role and steady playing time provide a useful fantasy foundation, with additional upside when his perimeter shot is falling. The lack of consistency has been an issue so far, but the upside is there -- he has scored in double digits in three of his five appearances to date and is shooting 46.4 percent from the field.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Stumbles in loss
Murphy amassed six points (2-7 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 104-91 loss to the Nuggets.
Murphy scored a season-low six points Wednesday. Better days are ahead for the star forward, who just dropped 26 points against Denver on Oct. 24 and remains one of the focal points of the New Orleans offense alongside Dejounte Murray and Zion Williamson.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Scores 26 points with four treys
Murphy notched 26 points (10-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 141-135 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
Murphy had scored just 20 points total in the two games prior, but he did a much better job of asserting himself offensively Saturday night. However, the Pelicans couldn't capitalize on his performance, surrendering a 23-point lead to fall to 0-3 to begin the 2026-27 season.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Quiet in season debut
Murphy closed with 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 123-120 loss to the Pacers.
Murphy took a back seat to both Dejounte Murray and Zion Williamson on Wednesday. Despite a fairly quiet season debut, Murphy should still be able to deliver early round fantasy numbers this season.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Finishes preseason with solid line
Murphy supplied 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 21 minutes in Friday's 107-106 preseason win over the Wizards.
Murphy bounced back from a five-point showing against Dallas, reaching double figures for the third time in four preseason games. The forward should see a heavy workload this season as one of the Pelicans' top multi-category producers.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Rough shooting night Wednesday
Murphy finished with five points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 19 minutes in Wednesday's 101-97 preseason win over Dallas.
Murphy came off the bench after starting in two of the Pelicans' exhibitions, though he had another inefficient shooting night, which has been a theme during the preseason. However, the 26-year-old has shot 45.9 percent from the field and 38.2 percent from deep throughout his career, so he could turn it around at some point early in the regular season.
