Rotowire
Murphy supplied 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 21 minutes in Friday's 107-106 preseason win over the Wizards.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Rough shooting night Wednesday
Rotowire
Murphy finished with five points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 19 minutes in Wednesday's 101-97 preseason win over Dallas.
Murphy came off the bench after starting in two of the Pelicans' exhibitions, though he had another inefficient shooting night, which has been a theme during the preseason. However, the 26-year-old has shot 45.9 percent from the field and 38.2 percent from deep throughout his career, so he could turn it around at some point early in the regular season.
Murphy posted 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 19 minutes in Tuesday's 116-110 preseason win over the Thunder.
Murphy was one of five New Orleans players who scored in double digits in this comeback win, and he also made his presence felt with two steals. Expect the veteran forward to be a steady contributor for the Pelicans on both ends of the court when the regular season begins in late October.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Working with Zion
Rotowire
Murphy has been working alongside Zion Williamson during three-point shooting drills at training camp, offering advice as his teammate attempts to expand his offensive game, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Murphy said he's been giving Williamson pointers during the drills and praised the forward for being willing to listen and put in the work. This highlights Murphy's growing leadership role in New Orleans as he enters his sixth NBA season, while his established perimeter shooting makes him a natural resource for Williamson as the latter works to become a more consistent threat from outside. Murphy is poised to have a considerable role on both ends of the court in 2026-27.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Another big season ahead
Rotowire
Murphy (ankle) continued his emergence as one of New Orleans' top offensive weapons before injuries interrupted another strong campaign.
Murphy's combination of three-point shooting, athleticism and secondary shot creation should once again make him a featured option alongside Zion Williamson. Murphy has averaged at least 21 points, five rebounds, three assists and one steal in back-to-back seasons, but he's made more than 66 regular-season appearances only once in his past five years.
