Jose Alvarado Latest News
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. 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.
Set to play Friday

Alvarado (calf) is available for Friday's game versus the Heat. Alvarado has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing New Orleans' previous contest due to right calf soreness. Alvarado should reclaim his starting spot from Elfrid Payton against Miami.
Iffy against Miami

Alvarado (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Heat. Alvarado is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday due to right calf soreness. If Alvarado is ultimately downgraded to out, Elfrid Payton should draw another start.
Won't play vs. Milwaukee

Alvarado (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks. After a 16-point performance in Tuesday's loss to the Nets, Alvarado won't be available Thursday in Milwaukee. The Pelicans will likely turn to Elfrid Payton to shoulder the load at the point guard position, with Antonio Reeves also helping out in the backcourt.
Questionable for Thursday

Alvarado is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks due to right calf soreness. Alvarado has been navigating through right calf soreness. While his status for the Pelicans' final three games of the season is uncertain, the fact that he's listed as questionable suggests he has a shot at playing. The veteran floor general has averaged 15.2 points, 5.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 28.1 minutes per game over his past six appearances.
Will play against Brooklyn

Alvarado (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the Nets. 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. 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.
Won't play vs. Milwaukee

Alvarado (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports. Alvarado is dealing with right calf soreness, which will keep him sidelined for Sunday's game against Milwaukee. Elfrid Payton will likely be tasked with picking up the slack in the backcourt in his stead.
Questionable to play Sunday

Alvarado is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to right calf soreness. 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 will be in line to see more minutes in the backcourt.
