Trey Murphy III Starts Season On Sidelines
2 months agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (hamstring) will remain on the sidelines for Wednesday's season opener against Chicago. He was given a three-week timeline for his return when Murphy III strained his right hamstring at the start of October. Unfortunately, Wednesday's game comes too soon for him to be ready to play. According to The Athletic's Will Guillory, Murphy III said on Tuesday that he's "making steady progress with his rehab." New Orleans' jack of all trades has started jogging but isn't yet clear for printing or physical contact. It looks like Murphy III might still be a couple of weeks away from playing. Herbert Jones and three-point bomber Jordan Hawkins should be the biggest beneficiaries of Murphy III's absence.
