Trey Murphy III Questionable for Pelicans with Ankle Injury
Trey Murphy III of the New Orleans Pelicans is dealing with an ankle injury. He is currently listed as questionable, making his availability uncertain for upcoming games. This is not the first time Murphy has faced issues with his ankle this season.
What It Means
If Trey Murphy III cannot play, it could impact the Pelicans’ performance. He has been a key player, averaging 20.6 points per game and shooting 36.2% from three-point range this season. His scoring ability and shooting are important to the team.
With Murphy possibly out, players like Brandon Ingram may need to take on more responsibility. Ingram leads in minutes and points among small forwards on the team. The depth chart shows that Brandon Boston Jr., though primarily a shooting guard, might also see increased playing time if needed.
