Trey Murphy Sidelined with Hamstring Strain

Trey Murphy, a New Orleans Pelicans forward, will be out for at least three weeks after sustaining a right hamstring injury.

Murphy suffered the injury during a team workout, and according to Shams Charania of The Athletic, he will be re-evaluated in three weeks. This renders Murphy unlikely to be available for the Pelicans’ season opener.

Murphy’s Impact Last Season

The 24-year-old was a star for New Orleans last season, averaging 14.8 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. Murphy, known as one of the league’s finest “3-and-D” wings, has a lifetime 39.2% three-point shooting percentage, including 38.0% last season.

The Pelicans’ season opener looms.
The Pelicans’ regular season begins on October 23 against the Chicago Bulls, and they’ll be aiming to get Murphy back in action as soon as possible.
