Trey Murphy III suffers meniscus injury, further evaluation required

Trey Murphy III, the promising guard for the New Orleans Pelicans, suffered a left knee meniscus injury during a workout at the team’s facility on Tuesday. Further tests will decide if surgery is required.

If Murphy undergoes a surgical procedure on his meniscus, he is likely to miss the first few months of the upcoming NBA season. Alternatively, a non-surgical option might sideline him for a considerably shorter period, potentially six-to-eight weeks.
