Be it LeBron James or a fresh-faced rookie making their debut, it always sucks when a player has to walk off injured mid-game. Doubts about them returning for the rest of the game, questions about the severity of their injury. These are not fun to think about when your team is on the court battling to get the W. And tonight, fans of the New Orleans Pelicans endured this fate as they watched Trey Murphy III walk off the court after barely a minute of play against the Detroit Pistons.

Murphy appeared to be in serious agony after diving in for a loose ball very early in the first quarter. He soon went to the locker room. And now, we have an update regarding his condition. The Pelicans have told us fans that Trey will not be returning for the rest of tonight’s game against the Pistons.

Trey Murphy III (right shoulder) will not return to tonight’s game vs. Detroit.

X-rays were negative.
