Cleared to play Thursday
Murphy (neck) is available for Thursday's game against the Kings, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Analyse
Murphy popped up on the injury report for Thursday's game due to neck spasms, but the fifth-year pro has been cleared to play after going through pregame warmups. He has averaged 24.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 4.1 threes and 1.4 steals over 35.6 minutes per game since the start of the new year.

Plans to play Thursday
Murphy (neck) intends to play in Thursday's game against the Kings, per Mark Haynes of The Sacramento Observer.
Analyse
If all goes well during pregame warmups, it sounds like the star forward will be able to go Thursday during the first night of a back-to-back set. Over his last eight outings, Murphy has averaged 24.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 34.0 minutes per game.

Iffy for Thursday
Murphy is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings due to neck spasms.
Analyse
Murphy has appeared in two outings following a five-game absence due to a right shoulder contusion, though he's in danger of missing Thursday's contest due to the neck issue. If the 25-year-old swingman is unable to play, Bryce McGowens and Jeremiah Fears would be candidates for increased minutes, while Jordan Poole could enter the rotation.

Flirts with double-double in defeat
Murphy chipped in 21 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 110-101 loss to the Lakers.
Analyse
Murphy fell two rebounds shy of a double-double in the loss, but he enjoyed an accurate evening of shooting and registered results in every secondary category. A shoulder injury has limited Murphy's participation, but he played 33 minutes in Sunday's game against the Clippers and replicated that usage against the Lakers.

Chips in 16 in return
Murphy (shoulder) recorded 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and two steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 137-117 loss to the Clippers.
Analyse
The fifth-year wing had missed the first five games coming out of the All-Star break due to a bruised shoulder, but Murphy looked healthy in his return while putting up his usual volume from long distance. He's drained multiple three-pointers in seven straight games dating back to Jan. 31, averaging 24.6 points, 5.0 triples, 4.7 assists, 4.3 boards and 1.0 steals during that stretch while shooting 45.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Will play Sunday
Murphy (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Analyse
Murphy will suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set, returning from a five-game absence due to a right shoulder contusion. Over five February appearances, the 25-year-old swingman averaged 27.4 points, 5.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.0 minutes per contest. His return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Bryce McGowens, Jordan Poole and Jeremiah Fears.

Ruled out for Saturday
Murphy (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Analyse
Murphy will miss a fifth consecutive contest due to a right shoulder contusion and is without a clear timetable for a return. His next opportunity to play will come Sunday against the Clippers. With the 25-year-old swingman sidelined, Bryce McGowens and Jordan Poole are candidates for increased playing time.
