Jose Alvarado Probable for Pelicans’ Game Against Wizards on January 3rd with Hamstring Strain
Jose Alvarado of the New Orleans Pelicans is dealing with a left hamstring strain. Despite this injury, he is expected to play in the upcoming game against the Washington Wizards on January 3rd. His current status is listed as probable.
What It Means
Alvarado’s return could be significant for the Pelicans. He has been averaging 10.7 points per game this season, along with 4.5 assists and shooting at a rate of 40% from three-point range. His ability to contribute both offensively and defensively makes him an important part of the team’s rotation.
The Pelicans will likely rely on CJ McCollum and Dejounte Murray if Alvarado faces any limitations due to his injury. CJ McCollum, who ranks second in the point guard depth chart, averages 21.4 points per game. Having these options provides some flexibility for the team as they prepare to face the Wizards.
