Trey Murphy III Spotted At Practice
6 months agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (knee) was spotted getting shots up at Tuesday's practice. It's a subtle cue to make sure that Murphy isn't floating around 9-category fantasy waiver wires. The Pelicans announced on Sep. 7 that they expected Murphy to return to basketball activities in roughly 10-to-12 weeks following left knee surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus. The earlier part of that timeline lines up the 23-year-old sniper for a possible return during Week 4 of fantasy hoops, but he could still be some ways away conditioning-wise from such a lengthy absence. It's great seeing Murphy making progress in his recovery, but it may not be reasonable to expect him back earlier than late November at this point. Herbert Jones (fibula), owner of top-50 per-game value in 9-cat with 10.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.2 combined steals and blocks, should continue playing a featured role in The Big Easy for however long Murphy remains out.
