New Orleans Pelicans guard Trey Murphy III suffered a left knee meniscus injury Tuesday and further testing will determine whether surgery will be required, sources told ESPN.
Murphy, who showed the promise of a future All-Star in his second season, injured the knee in a workout at the team's practice facility.
Further evaluation will determine the recovery route, sources said. A surgical procedure on the meniscus likely would sideline Murphy for the first few months of the season.
A non-surgical alternative would likely cause him to miss significantly less time out of the lineup — perhaps as short as six to eight weeks.
