NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III has agreed to a four-year, $112 million contract extension, according to a person familiar with the deal. Murphy is entering the final season of his rookie contract. Without the extension, he'd have been slated to become a restricted free agent next offseason. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the Pelicans announced only that Murphy had signed a multiyear extension without disclosing details. Murphy strained his right hamstring during the second practice of Pelicans training camp in Nashville earlier this month. He is not expected to be ready to play when New Orleans opens the regular season against Chicago on Wednesday.
