Jose Alvarado Out for Pelicans with Hamstring Strain
Jose Alvarado of the New Orleans Pelicans is dealing with a left hamstring strain. He will not be playing for the team due to this injury. This news has been confirmed, and Alvarado’s status is currently listed as out.
What It Means
This injury means that Jose Alvarado will miss some time on the court. His stats this season include an average of 10.7 points per game, 4.5 assists per game, and a shooting percentage of 39.6%. These contributions will be missed by the Pelicans.
The Pelicans will need to adjust their lineup in his absence. Players like CJ McCollum, who averages 21.4 points per game, may take on more responsibility at point guard. The team ranks third in their depth chart for point guards, so they have options to fill in while Alvarado recovers.
