Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Questionable versus Magic
Rotowire
Murphy (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando.
Murphy missed three consecutive games because of a sprained right ankle, although he managed to suit up for the Pelicans' last two contests. However, he's back on the injury report for the meeting with Orlando. New Orleans has only four games remaining before the team calls it a season, so it's unknown how much action Murphy will see moving forward. If he doesn't suit up Sunday, Yves Missi will likely re-enter the starting lineup.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Likely to play Friday
Rotowire
Murphy (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Kings.
Murphy just returned from a three-game absence with a right ankle sprain during Thursday's loss to the Trail Blazers, and he is expected to play the second half of this back-to-back set.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Goes for 19 points in return
Rotowire
Murphy recorded 19 points (7-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 118-106 loss to the Trail Blazers.
After missing the prior three games with a right ankle sprain, Murphy rejoined the lineup and delivered solid production. However, his scoring output came on poor efficiency, and Murphy has now converted on 41.5 percent of his field-goal attempts and 31.8 percent of his three-point tries over his last seven games. With Thursday's contest marking the front end of a back-to-back set, Murphy could be a candidate to sit Friday in Sacramento, though the Pelicans have yet to release an injury report for that game.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Available Thursday
Rotowire
Murphy (ankle) will play Thursday against Portland.
Murphy has missed his team's last three matchups while tending to a right ankle sprain, but he's been cleared to play Thursday. He'll presumably slot right back into the starting five in his return, which would likely bump Yves Missi back to the bench.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Murphy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Murphy is in danger of missing his fourth consecutive contest due to a lingering right ankle sprain. With New Orleans already eliminated from postseason contention, the team has little incentive to rush the 25-year-old wing back to the floor. If Murphy remains sidelined Thursday, look for Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Hawkins to continue logging increased minutes.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Out again Friday
Rotowire
Murphy (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Murphy will miss his second game in a row, but he remains day-to-day. The Pelicans are out of the playoff hunt, so the team may be cautious going forward. Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Hawkins could be more involved as a result Friday.
Murphy (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Rotowire
Murphy is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons with right ankle soreness.
Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and with the Pelicans no longer in the mix for a playoff spot, a maintenance day is surely on the table. If he's held out Thursday, Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Poole could take on larger roles.

Rotowire
Murphy ended Tuesday's 121-116 loss to the Knicks with 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-12 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes.
With the Pelicans eliminated from the playoffs with this loss, it will be interesting to see how the team handles Murphy's minutes and usage the rest of the way. Through 64 appearances this season, Murphy holds averages of 21.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.3 three-pointers.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Drops 27 points in win
Rotowire
Murphy notched 27 points (9-17 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes in Thursday's 105-99 win over the Clippers.
After averaging 18.0 points per game on 40.4 percent shooting from the field over his previous three outings, Murphy turned in an efficient performance in the second leg of this back-to-back set. The 25-year-old wing led all players in scoring and knocked down five triples for the second time this month, during which he has made at least four triples seven times. He has also reached the 20-point mark in back-to-back outings and in seven of 10 March games.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Struggles with shot in loss
Rotowire
Murphy recorded 14 points (5-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Friday's 107-105 loss to the Rockets.
Murphy had a rough shooting performance, needing 15 shots to score 14 points. This outing snapped a five-game stretch in which Murphy scored at least 21 points each time, but he regularly attempts around 15 shots per game, so the expectation is that this was just a bad shooting performance for the fifth-year forward. After all, Murphy is shooting 45.1 percent from the floor and 47.4 percent from three-point range since the All-Star break.
