Trey Murphy III Secures $112M Extension with New Orleans Pelicans

The promising forward's new four-year deal solidifies his role but raises questions about the team's financial future.

Trey Murphy III has agreed to a four-year, $112 million contract extension with the New Orleans Pelicans, ensuring his stay until at least 2028.
Murphy, known for his shooting prowess and defensive skills, averaged a career-high 14.8 points per game last season.
The contract includes no incentives or player options, committing Murphy to the Pelicans for the entirety of the term.
Murphy's extension poses financial challenges for the Pelicans, potentially impacting Brandon Ingram's future with the team.
Murphy is expected to miss the start of the season due to a hamstring injury sustained during training camp.
