Jose Alvarado News, Rumors, Updates - New York Knicks

Traded to New York The Pelicans traded Alvarado to the Knicks on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Dalen Terry and two second-round picks will head the opposite direction.

Impact Alvarado was heavily linked to the Knicks in recent weeks, so it's not a surprise to see this come to fruition. The Knicks do have a quality backup point guard behind Jalen Brunson in Miles McBride (ankle), but he has struggled to stay healthy. Alvarado will bolster New York's backcourt depth and produced averages of 7.9 points, 3.1 assists and 0.9 steals in 21.9 minutes across 41 regular-season appearances with the Pelicans. He's questionable to make his debut Friday against the Pistons.

Logs 30 minutes in loss Alvarado finished with three points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt) and three assists over 30 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Alvarado saw at least 30 minutes for just the sixth time this season, although he failed to have any sort of tangible impact. While he does provide the Pelicans with an energetic on-court presence, his efforts often go unrewarded in terms of fantasy value. In seven appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 7.0 points, 3.1 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 20.9 minutes per contest.

Takes on 13-minute role in return Alvarado (oblique) tallied six points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes Sunday in the Pelicans' 104-95 win over the Spurs.

Impact Following a nine-game absence due to an oblique strain, Alvarado made his return to action Sunday and reclaimed a spot on the Pelicans' second unit. When healthy, Alvarado has mostly served as the top backup at point guard to Jeremiah Fears, but the two played alongside one another off the bench while interim head coach James Borrego dropped Jordan Poole from the rotation and ran out a starting five lacking a true point guard. Borrego could shake up the lineup at some point, but Alvarado seems likely to continue operating off the bench and could struggle to regain a consistent 20-plus-minute role while the Pelicans have all their key contributors available, save for Dejounte Murray (Achilles).

Chance to return Sunday Alvarado (oblique) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against San Antonio.

Impact Alvarado has been sidelined since Jan. 6 due to a strained left oblique, but the backup guard has a chance at returning Sunday. Considering he's missed nine consecutive games, Alvarado could have his minutes monitored once cleared for game action. If he's able to play Sunday, he could cut into the workloads of Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Poole, while Jordan Hawkins would likely have a tougher time cracking the rotation.

Likely to miss two more weeks Alvarado (oblique) is expected to miss about two more weeks, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Alvarado has already missed three games in a row with left oblique soreness, and it sounds like the Pelicans want to give him even more time to get the issue resolved. With the guard staying on the shelf, Bryce McGowens has played at least 26 minutes in three straight contests and seems to be the direct fantasy beneficiary of Alvarado's absence.
