Trey Murphy: The Comeback Kid
Ah, injuries in the NBA—a bit like finding a needle in a haystack, except the haystack is filled with overpaid athletes who can’t seem to stay on the court. We’re talking about Trey Murphy III, the Pelicans’ rising star, who’s been playing hide and seek with his hamstring all season. Spoiler alert: it’s not hide and seek if you never come out!
Expected Return Against Brooklyn Nets
Hold onto your seats, Pelicans fans! According to a flurry of sources, from NBA.com to Sports Illustrated, Murphy is “probable” to make his season debut against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. Now, “probable” in sports can be a bit like “going to the gym” for some people—very much up in the air! But we have our fingers crossed like we’re at a family wedding.
A Hamstring Story
If you’ve been living under a rock (or perhaps just not keeping up with basketball news), Murphy’s been sidelined due to a pesky hamstring issue. The kind of injury that makes you rethink your life choices—like trying to get back to your peak high school fitness levels after a decade of Netflix and snacks. According to another tidbit from FantasyPros, Murphy was indeed out for the most recent game on Sunday. He was basically taking hamstring strain to a new Olympic level. Either that, or he was attempting a dramatic reinterpretation of a telenovela—lots of suspense, just very little action.
Ready to Shine
But let’s shift focus! Murphy is targeting this Monday game not just as a comeback but as an opportunity to grace us all with his dazzling basketball skills. Like a pop star finally stepping back on stage after a regrettable fashion faux pas. If there’s anyone who can turn the tide for the Pelicans, it’s him. As reported by the astute minds at Last Word On Sports, he’s got his eyes set specifically on this clash with the Nets. And if that’s not enough motivation to run faster than your average toddler at a candy store, I don’t know what is!
The Final Word
So, as we all sit on the edge of our seats, popcorn and nachos in hand, let’s keep our eyes peeled for a glorious Murphy return. Whether he dazzles on the court or ends up dodging defenders like they’re exes showing up at a reunion, one thing’s for sure: the NBA is certainly more exciting with him in it!
