Larry Nance Jr. can’t catch a break in his return from a five-game injury absence. Wrong place wrong time a couple times and now he has three fouls in three minutes, has to sub out late 1Q. Meanwhile Trey Murphy is scorching (15 pts) – 7:37 PM

Trey Murphy couldn’t started this game any better. A 3, a couple of tough finishes at the rim, in which he was fouled, AND defensively dropping back like a good safety while reading Nurkic’s eyes resulted in a steal. – 7:19 PM

Trey Murphy seemed to put a little extra emphasis on that putback dunk, with #Pelicans needing a spark from somewhere. OKC is holding a parade to the foul line, now 22 attempts – 9:36 PM

More on this storyline
But New Orleans decided it wasn’t the right time to make an all-in move for a player like Anunoby or new Brooklyn Net Mikal Bridges. The Pelicans didn’t show much interest in including former first-round picks Trey Murphy and Dyson Daniels in potential deals, according to league sources who were not authorized to speak publicly on trade discussions. This made it challenging to construct the type of mega-deals other teams were looking to make for some of the big names that were available. -via The Athletic / February 9, 2023
Still, Murphy isn’t going to Salt Lake City just happy to be there. “I’m trying to win it,” he said. While he’s unlikely to be a favorite, Murphy believes he can rise to the occasion once he gets to experience the bright lights. “It’s a special night. You know it’s one of those nights when everybody is watching you,” Murphy said. “They’re expecting a show. I feel like, myself, I’m a showman, and I try to get the crowd excited. Get the crowd involved. And I’ll make sure I show myself in my best light.” -via The Athletic / February 1, 2023
