Pelicans' Trey Murphy Expected Against Grizzlies

The Pelicans’ Trey Murphy III was listed as probable against Memphis with bilateral patellar tendinopathy, while Jordan Poole was initially ruled out with ankle tendinopathy; a later report said Poole was probable to return Wednesday against Utah after missing three games. Indiana’s Aaron Nesmith was set to sit out the second game of a back-to-back. Separately, Kristaps Porziņģis’ future with Golden State appeared uncertain after reports that the team did not expect him to play for it again, despite his signing a two-year, $40 million deal; a trade and buyout were raised as possibilities.
