Trey Murphy III Injured On Sunday Night
1 day agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (ankle) exited Sunday's win over the Wizards. He did not return. The 24-year-old was having himself a game, accumulating 22 points, eight boards, two steals, and one block before his departure due to a left ankle sprain. The Pelicans are already without Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Zion Williamson (hamstring), so losing Murphy wouldn't be an ideal scenario, especially since he's easily having the best year of his career. But if he's not on the floor on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, Brandon Boston Jr. may enter the starting lineup, although it would likely be Herbert Jones, Dejounte Murray, and CJ McCollum who benefit the most.
