Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Out at least three weeks
The Pelicans announced Thursday that Murphy has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain and will be re-examined in approximately three weeks.
Murphy strained his right hamstring during Wednesday's training camp practice. The 24-year-old forward's status for the beginning of the regular season is now in question. Murphy is expected to compete with Herbert Jones for backup forward minutes when healthy.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Goes for 21 points in Game 1 loss
Murphy notched 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-12 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 44 minutes during Sunday's 94-92 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Murphy extended his streak of games scoring in double figures to 14 appearances (12 starts), and he ended up as New Orleans' leading scorer in this Game 1 loss while carrying the team at times in the second and third quarters. Murphy can get hot in any moment of a game, but even if that doesn't happen, he sees enough touches to make a consistent impact on offense. Expect Murphy to remain in the first unit -- while experiencing a slight uptick in his usage rate -- as long as Zion Williamson (hamstring) remains out.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Running with first unit
Murphy is starting Friday's Play-In Game against the Kings.
The Virginia product will join the starting lineup due to the absence of Zion Williamson (hamstring). Murphy is averaging 22.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals in his last five starts and figures to have plenty of chances to make an impact with Williamson sidelined.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Back to bench
Murphy will come off the bench in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
With Brandon Ingram (knee) returning from a lengthy absence, Murphy will shift back to a reserve role. He has averaged 13.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists across 26.5 minutes in 33 games off the bench this season.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Excels with 27 points
Murphy provided 27 points (7-14 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 45 minutes during Thursday's 135-123 victory over the Kings.
Murphy followed up Tuesday's explosive 31 points against Portland with another superb total on the road. Murphy has scored in double digits in nine straight games, but the imminent return of Brandon Ingram (knee) will send Murphy's numbers back to normal levels. Although Murphy missed a lot of action this season, he has a shot at being the presumptive starter ahead of Herbert Jones in the playoffs once Ingram returns.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Busts out for game-high 31
Murphy had 31 points (9-17 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 110-100 victory over Portland.
Murphy was making his ninth straight start, but he'd scored more than 16 points only once in the prior eight, a 21-point effort against the Suns on April 1. The third-year forward has averaged 15.9 points, 7.5 boards, 2.9 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.3 steals during his stint in the starting five, but even if Brandon Ingram (knee) returns to the lineup Thursday in Sacramento, Murphy should still hang onto a significant workload in the Pelicans' frontcourt.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Struggles from field Sunday
Murphy accumulated 13 points (4-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 win over the Suns.
Murphy struggled badly from the field and needed 13 shots to score 13 points, and overall, this performance was below the numbers he's been delivering in recent weeks. However, Murphy should remain a prominent part of the rotation until Brandon Ingram (knee) can return.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Scores 14 points, ejected late
Murphy recorded 14 points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 37 minutes before getting ejected from Wednesday's 117-108 loss to the Magic.
Murphy, Herbert Jones and Dyson Daniels were all ejected with seven seconds left in the loss after having words with an official. It's highly unlikely any will face suspension, but fines could be on the way. Murphy has cooled down from his scoring outbursts earlier in the month, averaging 14.1 points on 36.4 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from deep across his past seven games.
