Trey Murphy III Out for Pelicans with Ankle Injury
Trey Murphy III is dealing with a left ankle sprain and will not play for the New Orleans Pelicans. The injury has kept him off the court since January 5, 2025. His status remains out as he continues to recover from this setback.
What It Means
This injury affects both Trey Murphy III and the New Orleans Pelicans significantly. Murphy has been a key player for the team, averaging 20.7 points per game this season. He also contributes 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, making him an important part of their lineup.
The absence of Murphy means more responsibility falls on Brandon Ingram, who is currently ranked first in the small forward position for the Pelicans. Ingram averages 22.2 points per game and plays about 33 minutes each game. The team will need other players like Brandon Boston Jr., who averages 11.4 points per game, to step up during this period without Murphy.
