Sources – Trey Murphy, Pelicans agree to 4-year, $112M deal

New Orleans Pelicans guard Trey Murphy III has signed a four-year, $112 million rookie contract extension with the team. The deal has no incentives or player options. Murphy, known for his 3-and-D skills, averaged 14.8 points and 4.9 rebounds per game last season. He has a 39.2% career 3-point shooting percentage and is a strong defender, with opponents shooting only 42.2% from the floor when he was the closest defender. Despite a right hamstring strain, Murphy is expected to miss the start of the regular season, with the Pelicans opening against the Chicago Bulls.
