Pelicans Deal With Devastating Injury After Loss to Detroit Pistons

The New Orleans Pelicans suffered a tough defeat against the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, and things got worse for the home team when one of their key players went down with an injury.

Trey Murphy was seen diving for a loose ball during the game, and although X-rays came back negative, he was ruled out for the rest of the contest.

Following the loss to the Pistons, the Pelicans received more bad news about Murphy’s injury. ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Murphy is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to a torn labrum in his right shoulder. Murphy was enjoying a standout season, averaging 21.2 points and hitting over 150 three-pointers for the third consecutive year.

The Pelicans were also without Brandon Boston, Herb Jones, and Dejounte Murray due to injuries in the game, though Yves Missi, Kelly Olynyk, and Zion Williamson were cleared to play.

The injury setback added to a rough night for New Orleans as they were blown out 127-81 by Detroit. The Pistons improved to 38-31, while the Pelicans, now sitting at 18-51, moved closer to improving their lottery position.

Murphy, a bright spot in an otherwise challenging season for the Pelicans, finishes his year averaging 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists while shooting 36% from beyond the arc.
