New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III, a 2021 first-round draft choice who emerged as a frequent starter and reliable scorer last season, injured the meniscus in his left knee while working out at team headquarters on Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the situation said.
Bronny James has been discharged from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and is resting at home, three days after the 18-year-old son of LeBron James went into cardiac arrest.
Pelicans star Brandon Ingram will actually be playing for Team USA. Herb Jones and Trey Murphy III are part of the “select team;” the team that helps the rest of Team USA train for the championship.
Ankr PBC stated that it made the loan in September 2021 to Williamson and family members while in the midst of trying to establish a marketing relationship with the Pelicans’ All-Star power forward.
The spokesman said medical staff treated James on site and he was transported to a hospital, where he was in stable condition after leaving the intensive care unit.
While in Las Vegas, Zion made a surprise appearance on Gil’s Arenas podcast, hosted by former NBA star Gilbert Arena. During the discussion, Zion reflected on the start of his career and expressed some regrets but that he’s committed to turning things around.
The Pelicans have officially signed their first-round draft pick Jordan Hawkins to a 4-year deal and sources say they have placed calls about the availability of All-Star guard Damian Lillard.
So far this offseason, the Pelicans have signed Herb Jones for four more years and signed veteran center Cody Zeller after the departures of Jaxson Hayes and Willy Hernangomez.
Hawkins played for the Huskies for two seasons and specializes as a roaming outside shooter, particularly coming off of screens. He had a breakout sophomore season with an average of 16.2 points per game while shooting nearly 41 percent from the field. He also averaged 38.8 percent from beyond the arc.
On Friday (June 16) morning, Givony told Zach Lowe on The Lowe Post podcast that team sources have informed him that the Pelicans will not trade Zion or Brandon Ingram, who has also missed significant stretches of games in the last few seasons due to injury.
The NBA and the Miami Heat are investigating an allegation that former UFC champion Conor McGregor sexually assaulted a woman inside an arena bathroom after Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
The Athletic’s report said that trading for the Hornets’ No. 2 pick will likely come at a steep price for the Pelicans, who can offer a large package of picks for Henderson, plus young players. The report also said that a deal could cost New Orleans either one of their franchise stars Brandon Ingram or Zion Williamson.
