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.

Murphy (ankle) is listed as out for Friday's game against Minnesota.
Murphy will miss a fourth consecutive contest. With Dejounte Murray (hand) also ruled out, Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Poole will likely be the starting options out of the backcourt against the Timberwolves.

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.
