Plays significant role in loss Alvarado logged 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and seven assists over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 Play-In Game loss to the Lakers.

Impact Alvarado closed the game Tuesday, providing the Pelicans with plenty of energy off the bench. He served as the primary ball handler down the stretch, making several key plays, particularly on the offensive end. He did appear to suffer two separate ankle injuries during the second half, something that the medical staff will be monitoring ahead of Friday's must-win matchup against either the Warriors or the Kings.

No limitations in return Alvarado (oblique) tallied 15 points (5-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes Sunday in the Pelicans' 113-105 win over the Suns.

Impact Given that he had missed the Pelicans' previous five games with a right oblique strain, Alvarado was expected to face some restrictions Sunday, but he ended up exceeding his season average of 17.8 minutes per contest. Alvarado may continue to have a path to a 20-plus-minute role until the Pelicans get Brandon Ingram (knee) back from injury, likely at some point during the upcoming week.

Good to go Sunday Alvarado (oblique) has been cleared for Sunday's game versus Phoenix, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Alvarado will return from a five-game absence due to a right oblique strain, so he could operate under a limited workload Sunday. The 25-year-old has logged just 908 total minutes this season while dealing with a myriad of minor injuries after accumulating 1,311 minutes last year. Alvarado ramping up into the rotation as New Orleans attempts to escape the Play-In Tournament would be a notable addition.

Questionable against Suns Alvarado (oblique) is questionable to face the Suns on Sunday.

Impact Alvarado has missed the past five games for New Orleans, but he's now considered day-to-day. During the month of March, Alvarado averaged 6.7 points, 2.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals.
