Murphy exited Saturday's 102-83 win over Hawthorn at Marvel Stadium with what is believed to be an ankle injury, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
According to ABC.net, Murphy left Saturday's contest in the final term and was replaced by David MacKay. No substantive word yet as to the seriousness of the injured ankle. The 22 year-old small forward closed out the game having produced 13 disposals, three marks, two tackles and a single clearance to go along with a pair of goals and one behind.
Returns in SANFL

June 29, 2021
Murphy made his return from an ankle syndesmosis injury during a weekend SANFL match against West Adelaide.
ANALYSIS
Murphy can be taken off the injury list after appearing over the weekend. He's scored four goals in eight appearances this season and has a lot more work to do in order to become reliable in fantasy.

June 10, 2021
Murphy (ankle) signed a two-year contract extension with Adelaide on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Murphy remains sidelined after having surgery to repair an ankle syndesmosis injury in May. The forward is now set to remain with the club through 2023, although his performance hasn't developed into a particularly useful form for fantasy.
Set for surgery

Ankle
May 11, 2021
Murphy is set to undergo surgery for an ankle syndesmosis injury, according to the Crows' Head of Football Adam Kelly. "(Murphy's) a really important part of our team and had been enjoying a really good season. He's having surgery on that ankle today and we expect he will be unavailable for 8-10 weeks."
ANALYSIS
Murphy isn't nearly as important for fantasy as he is for his club's performances, as he's scored no more than 67 fantasy points in a single match through eight rounds. With a recovery time that will take at least two months, it could be worth monitoring who replaces him over the coming weeks.
