The Pelicans announced that Murphy would be re-evaluated in three weeks after an MRI confirmed that he suffered a strain during practice at their training camp.
Murphy has established himself as an outstanding 3-and-D wing. He's a 39.2% career 3-point shooter, including 38.0% on 7.8 attempts per game last season.
Opponents shot only 42.2% from the floor when Murphy was the closest defender last season, the fifth-lowest percentage among players defending 500 shots.
