Trey Murphy III Sidelined with Hamstring Injury, Impacting Pelicans' Season Start

The New Orleans Pelicans forward will miss at least three weeks, jeopardizing his participation in the regular season opener.

Trey Murphy III suffered a right hamstring strain during a practice session, confirmed by an MRI.
The injury will keep Murphy out for a minimum of three weeks, with reevaluation scheduled around the regular season start.
Murphy, entering the final year of his rookie contract, averaged career highs in points, rebounds, and assists last season.
His absence could force the Pelicans to adjust their lineup, potentially impacting their preseason and early regular season games.
Murphy's performance last season positioned him as a key player, making his injury a significant setback for the team's plans.
