Jose Alvarado News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Poor efficiency in expanded role Alvarado ended Sunday's 115-100 loss to the Thunder with 14 points (5-16 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals across 34 minutes.

Impact After both Dejounte Murray (Achilles) and Trey Murphy (shoulder) went down, Alvarado handled an expanded role for the Pelicans down the stretch of the year. Alvarado averaged 14.3 points, 5.0 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 27.6 minutes through his last nine games of the regular season, but he logged 3.6 turnovers per contest and shot just 36.5 percent from the field during this stretch. Alvarado figures to begin the 2025-26 campaign in a reserve capacity, assuming the Pelicans are healthier.

Will play against Nets Alvarado (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Following a one-game absence in Sunday's loss to the Bucks, Alvarado will play through right calf soreness Tuesday and shouldn't have any restrictions. Over his last six contests, Alvarado has logged 14.2 points, 6.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 28.1 minutes per game but is shooting a poor 37.6 percent from the field while averaging 3.5 turnovers during this span.

Questionable to play Tuesday Alvarado (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Alvarado missed the loss to the Bucks on Sunday due to right calf soreness, and the same injury has him questionable to play Tuesday. If he can't go, then expect Elfrid Payton to operate as the point guard in Tuesday's matchup. Prior to the injury, Alvarado had started in eight games in a row with averages of 12.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Questionable to play Sunday Alvarado is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to right calf soreness.

Impact Alvarado has been operating as the Pelicans' starting point guard in recent games, and losing him would leave the team's backcourt even thinner. If Alvarado doesn't suit up Sunday, Elfrid Payton would be in line to see more minutes in the backcourt.

Paces team with 27 points Alvarado accumulated 27 points (10-21 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes during Friday's 124-108 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The Pelicans are doing their level-best to tank, but Alvarado seems to have missed the memo. He's played exceptionally well during the West Coast swing, and they have somehow managed to win some games with Alvarado at the helm. The team will kick the tires and try out some developmental players during the final week, but Alavrado will likely remain in the starting lineup.
