Sources - Pelicans' Trey Murphy III has left meniscus injury - ESPN

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 would likely 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.
