Trey Murphy III and New Orleans Pelicans Agree to 4-Year, $112 Million Contract Extension

New Orleans Pelicans guard Trey Murphy III has agreed to a significant contract extension with the franchise. According to sources, Murphy has signed a four-year, $112 million rookie contract extension.

This deal solidifies Murphy’s position with the Pelicans, a team he has been with since being drafted in the first round of the 2021 NBA Draft. The contract does not include any incentives or a player option, ensuring a stable financial commitment from both parties.

Murphy has been an integral part of the Pelicans’ lineup, despite facing challenges such as injuries and shooting slumps. He has spoken about his recovery process from a hamstring injury and his expectations for the upcoming season, particularly highlighting teammate Zion Williamson‘s improved physical condition and readiness for the new season.

The agreement comes ahead of the Monday deadline for rookie contract extensions, marking a significant move for the Pelicans as they look to secure their young talent for the future.
