Trey Murphy III Questionable for Pelicans’ Game Against Rockets on December 26th with Ankle Injury
Trey Murphy III of the New Orleans Pelicans is dealing with a left ankle sprain. He is currently listed as questionable for their upcoming game against the Houston Rockets on December 26th. This injury has kept him uncertain about his participation in recent games.
What It Means
This injury news could impact the Pelicans, as Trey Murphy III plays an important role in their lineup. He averages 19.3 points per game and contributes with 4.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game this season. His shooting accuracy stands at 45.1% from the field and 35% from beyond the arc.
