Trey Murphy III and Zion Williamson have both been ruled out against the Golden State Warriors (10 p.m. ET / 8 p.m.. PCT on Sportsnet ONE and Sportsnet+).
Murphy is out with bilateral patellar tendinopathy, and Williamson is resting. Trendon Watford is also missing the contest with a right ankle sprain.
The Pelicans are on the second night of a back-to-back, and all three were active on Sunday.
Murphy last missed the Pelicans’ overtime win over the Utah Jazz on Nov. 4. He’s averaging 15.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and a steal on 46.5 per cent shooting this season.
Monday will be the oft-injured Williamson’s first missed game of the season. The 2019 first-overall pick has appeared in over 60 games just three times in his career, and he missed all of 2021-22.
Williamson is averaging 21 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.2 steals on 62.8 per cent shooting while playing 33 minutes a night in 2026-27.
New Orleans is 11th in the West at 4-6.
