Jose Alvarado News, Rumors, Updates - New York Knicks

Questionable to play Saturday Alvarado is questionable for Saturday's game against the Rockets due to left hip soreness.

Impact The Pelicans will be extremely depleted for the first leg of this back-to-back set, and it's uncertain whether Alvarado will suit up due to this latest injury. A decision on his status will be made closer to Saturday's 7 p.m. ET tipoff, though his absence would thin the team's backcourt depth even more. Alvarado has been slumping of late and is averaging 5.0 points while shooting 25 percent from the floor in three appearances this month.

Held to five points Alvarado posted five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 136-115 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Alvarado had a rough showing Tuesday and has been stuck in a slump for the past three games. In that stretch, Alvarado has shot 19.0 percent from the field with averages of 3.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 24.1 minutes.

Teases triple-double in win Alvarado finished with 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists across 30 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 114-96 victory over the Spurs.

Impact The nine boards were a career high for Alvarado as he came within a whisker of his first career triple-double. The fourth-year guard has returned to the bench coming out of the All-Star break, with Kelly Olynyk getting a look in the starting five instead, but the shift doesn't seem to have impacted Alvarado's usage or minutes. Over his last six contests, he's averaging 11.7 points, 6.3 assists, 4.5 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.8 steals in 29.7 minutes.

Impact Alvarado has started in the Pelicans' last four games and has averaged 12.5 points, 6.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 steals over 29.5 minutes per game over that span. He'll revert to a bench role Friday while Kelly Olynyk gets inserted into the starting lineup.

Full stat line in victory Alvarado amassed 18 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and three steals across 34 minutes during Thursday's 140-133 overtime win over the Kings.

Impact The 26-year-old tied Trey Murphy as the second-leading scorer behind CJ McCollum (43 points) in the overtime victory. Alvarado also tied the game-high mark in steals, logging his 11th outing with multiple steals through 31 regular-season appearances. The fourth-year guard has started in four consecutive contests, averaging 12.5 points, 6.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 steals across 29.5 minutes per game.

Flirts with double-double in loss Alvarado notched 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 loss to the Kings.

Impact Alvarado fell one assist short of his first double-double of the season, turning in a strong two-way performance. He continues to play a sizeable role for the banged-up Pelicans, starting the past three games. Although his minutes are somewhat inconsistent, it appears as though he is going to feature prominently down the stretch.

Struggles in second straight start Alvarado accumulated nine points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt) in 23 minutes during Monday's 137-101 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Alvarado has been thrust into a new role with the Pelicans due to the season-ending injury Dejounte Murray (Achilles) suffered and with CJ McCollum out for personal reasons. As the starter for New Orleans, the 26-year-old point guard has not played well, especially when it comes to his outside shooting, going a combined 2-for-10 from beyond the arc in consecutive losses to the Kings and Thunder.

Starting Saturday Alvarado will start Saturday's game against the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact After a one-game absence, Alvarado has been cleared to suit up and will make his first start since Nov. 11, as Herbert Jones (shoulder) is out for a few months and DeJounte Murray (Achilles) is out for the season.

FEBRUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Appears past illness Alvarado (illness) is not on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Kings.

Impact Alvarado was unable to play in Wednesday's 144-119 loss to the Nuggets due to an illness, but it appears he recovered enough to be able to play Saturday. Alvarado has averaged 13.0 points, 4.3 assists and 1.7 rebounds over 23.7 minutes per game over his last three outings.

FEBRUARY 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Wednesday Alvarado (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Alvarado won't be able to play Wednesday in Denver. The defensive-minded guard is battling an illness on the road. Jordan Hawkins, Javonte Green and Antonio Reeves might have to pick up the slack in the backcourt for New Orleans.

Iffy due to illness Alvarado (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Denver, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Alvarado was a late addition to the injury report and that's a bad sign for the Pelicans as they are already shorthanded. If Alvarado is unable to go, there could be more minutes available for guys like Jordan Hawkins, Javonte Green and Antonio Reeves.

Puts up 20 points in loss Alvarado chipped in 20 points (6-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 118-116 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Alvarado started the game on the bench but ended up playing a heavy dose of minutes following the season-ending Achilles injury sustained by Dejounte Murray. Given how depleted the Pelicans are in the backcourt, expect Alvarado to possibly move into a starting role, or at the very least, to see a sizable uptick in his minutes. Alvarado has scored in double digits in just 11 of his appearances this season.

Returns to Saturday's game Alvarado (undisclosed) returned in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the Hornets, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Impact Alvardo went to the locker room in the second quarter due to an undisclosed injury. The issue doesn't appear to be severe, as Alvarado checked in for CJ McCollum at the 7:32 mark in the third quarter.

Exits game due to injury Alvarado went to the locker room in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Hornets, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Alvarado checked out at the 4:29 mark in the second quarter of Saturday's game and went to the locker room shortly after. It's unclear why he exited the game, but Javonte Green could see additional run time off the bench for as long as Alvarado is out of the game.

Scores nine points in 12 minutes Alvarado contributed nine points (3-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt) across 12 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 loss to Boston.

Impact Since returning to the lineup on Jan. 3, Alvarado's fantasy appeal has been limited to deeper formats. Over his last six games, he averaged 8.7 points, 3.2 assists, 1.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 17.8 minutes per contest.

Scores 13 points off bench Alvarado amassed 13 points (4-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 104-97 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Alvarado didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still found a way to contribute in the scoring column. This was his first double-digit scoring effort since returning from a lengthy injury absence, but his fantasy upside will be limited if he continues to play a hard cap of 20 minutes off the bench in the upcoming contests.

Three steals in return Alvarado (hamstring) posted five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three assists, three steals and two rebounds across 20 minutes Friday in the Pelicans' 132-120 win over the Wizards.

Impact Alvarado was on a restriction in his return from a 23-game absence due to a left hamstring strain, but the 20 minutes he ended up receiving is probably a good approximation of what he'll get in most games when the Pelicans' usual backcourt starters (Dejounte Murray and CJ McCollum) are available. While Alvarado should be a good source of assists, steals and three-pointers on a per-minute basis, he won't have much appeal outside of deeper leagues now that the Pelicans are healthier in the backcourt.

Will be limited Friday Alvarado (hamstring), who is available to play in Friday's game against the Wizards, will operate under a minutes restriction, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment...

Impact Alvarado will return to action following a 23-game absence due to a left hamstring strain, though the Pelicans will limit his playing time as they work him back to playing form. The 26-year-old appeared in 11 regular-season matchups before the hamstring injury, during which he averaged 10.7 points, 4.5 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals across a career-high 25.6 minutes per contest.

Gets green light Friday Alvarado (hamstring) is listed as available for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Alvarado will return to game action after missing the club's last 23 outings due to a left hamstring strain. It wouldn't be surprising if the 26-year-old operates under a minutes restriction during his return, though the spark he provides will be a welcome addition to the second unit. Alvarado appeared in 11 regular-season matchups before the hamstring injury, during which he averaged 10.7 points, 4.5 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals across a career-high 25.6 minutes per contest.

Probable against Washington Alvarado (hamstring) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Alvarado has missed 23 straight games and will be a welcome addition to the backcourt when he returns to the floor for New Orleans. He is averaging a career-high 10.7 points and 4.5 assists per game, shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc.

JANUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set to return Friday Alvarado (hamstring) said Thursday that he will play in Friday's game versus the Wizards, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.

Impact Alvarado has missed New Orleans' previous 23 contests due to a left hamstring strain but appears ready to go Friday. However, Alvarado will likely operate on a minutes restriction as he works his way fully back into game shape.
