Looks rusty in season debut
Murphy finished Monday's 107-105 loss to Brooklyn with 12 points (4-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two blocks across 26 minutes.
Analysis
It wasn't difficult to tell that Murphy was seeing his first action of the 2024-25 campaign after sitting the first three weeks with a right hamstring injury. However, it was encouraging to see him score in double figures despite his shooting struggles, and he made an unexpected contribution on the defensive end by swatting two shots. It's worth noting that Murphy logged 26 minutes after it was reported he would be on a 20-minute cap Monday night, so the team must've felt comfortable enough with his health to keep him on the floor for a few additional minutes.

Playing Monday on capped minutes
Murphy will be limited to 20 minutes of playing time Monday against the Nets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Analysis
Murphy strained his right hamstring during training camp in early October, which caused him to miss the entire preseason and the Pelicans' first 10 games of the 2024-25 regular season. Even with injuries to Zion Williamson (hamstring), Dejounte Murray (hand), CJ McCollum (thigh), Jordan Hawkins (back) and Herbert Jones (shoulder), however, Murphy will be brought on slowly and operate under a minutes restriction Monday. Murphy appeared in 57 games (23 starts) for the Pelicans during the 2023-24 regular season and averaged 14.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 29.6 minutes per game.

Available to play
Murphy (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
Murphy was previously upgraded to probable, so this news isn't a big surprise. With the amount of injuries in New Orleans, Murphy will likely step into a high-usage role right away. However, it's unclear if he'll have any playing time restrictions.

Officially probable
Murphy (hamstring) is probable for Monday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
Murphy is on track to make his season debut Monday, as he said Sunday that he'll suit up versus Brooklyn. This is great news for the Pelicans, who will still be without Zion Williamson (hamstring), Dejounte Murray (hand), CJ McCollum (thigh), Jordan Hawkins (back) and Herbert Jones (shoulder) for at least a few more weeks. Given all the injuries, Murphy will likely slide into the Pelicans' starting lineup eventually, but he may face some restrictions at first.

Says he'll make season debut Monday
Murphy (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Nets, but he said Sunday that'll make his season debut, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis
This is great news for the Pelicans, who will still be without Zion Williamson (hamstring), Dejounte Murray (hand), CJ McCollum (thigh), Jordan Hawkins (back) and Herbert Jones (shoulder) for at least a few more weeks. Given all the injuries, Murphy will likely slide into the Pelicans' starting lineup eventually, but he may face some restrictions at first.

Targeting Monday for season debut
Murphy (hamstring) has a target of Monday's game versus the Nets to make his season debut, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Analysis
Murphy has missed the first 10 games of the 2024-25 campaign due to a strained right hamstring. While the 24-year-old forward will likely be eased back into the rotation, there should be plenty of minutes up for grabs with Zion Williamson (hamstring), Jordan Hawkins (back), Herbert Jones (shoulder), CJ McCollum (thigh) and Dejounte Murray (hand) all dealing with injuries.

Won't play against Orlando
Murphy (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Friday's game versus the Magic, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
Analysis
Murphy has been downgraded from doubtful to out due a strained right hamstring that has kept him sidelined for the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign. Murphy's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Brooklyn, and while it's unclear when exactly Murphy will be available again, it appears his season debut is inching closer after he was initially listed as something other than out for the first time this season.
November 7, 2024
Unlikely to play Friday
Murphy (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Magic.
Analysis
Murphy has yet to play this season while recovering from a strained right hamstring. Although Murphy is unlikely to suit up Friday, his status being listed as doubtful instead of out is a good sign that he is nearing a return to action.
