He has played previously professionally in China (Guangsha Lions, Guangxi and Chongqing), Croatia (Cedevita), France (SIG Strasbourg), Japan (Hitachi SunRockers Tokyo-Shibuya), Philippines (SM Beermen), Qatar (Al Arabi), Turkey (Gaziantep), UAE, NBA G League (Salt Lake City Stars, Stockton Kings and Grand Rapids Gold), Bahrain (Al-Muharraq), United Arab Emirates (Shabab Al Ahli) and Libya (Al Morog).
Murphy won Bahrain League championship title in 2019.
Murphy's game is described as: (by Tyler Ingle for NBADraft.net in 2012)
Explosive scorer that possesses a wide offensive skill-set Good length for either wing position Active runner Quick feet Gets himself squared up to the hoop almost instantly Volume shooter. Not a very strong finisher at the rim, due in large part to his slight frame Does most of his scoring outside the paint, so it's hard for him to establish a good scoring rhythm if his shot isn't falling.
