  • Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Leads Puerto Rico in Olympic loss

    Alvarado ended with 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 22 minutes in Puerto Rico's 104-83 loss to Team USA in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.

    Puerto Rico's Olympic campaign has officially ended with an 0-3 record in Group C. Alvarado led Puerto Rico to an early lead; however, once Team USA got going in the second quarter the game quickly got out of hand. The 26-year-old scored a team-high 18 points in the loss, and he served as the squad's top option throughout the group stage. In three group-phase appearances, Alvarado averaged 15.3 points, 3.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds across 23.7 minutes per game.

  • Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Game-high 26 points in loss

    Alvarado totaled 26 points (9-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists, two rebounds and two steals across 32 minutes in Puerto Rico's 90-79 loss to South Sudan in the Paris Olympics on Sunday.

    Despite the loss, Alvarado was stellar against South Sudan and scored a game-high 26 points. The 26-year-old has made a name for himself as a defensive nightmare for opposing backcourts, and he showed his offensive abilities while tying the team high of two steals. In 56 regular-season appearances with the Pelicans last year, Alvarado averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 18.4 minutes per game.

  • Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Set to play for Puerto Rico

Over 56 regular-season appearances with the Pelicans last year, he averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 18.4 minutes per game.

  • Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Sticks in New Orleans

    The Pelicans exercised Alvarado's $1.99 million team option for 2024-25 on Friday, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    An undrafted point guard out of Georgia Tech in 2021, Alvarado has solidified himself as the Pelicans' top backup point guard over the last three seasons and will likely maintain that role heading into 2024-25. During this past season, Alvarado averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 18.4 minutes per game across 56 appearances.

  • Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: 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.

    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.

  • Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: 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.

    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.

  • Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Good to go Sunday

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

    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 averaged 6.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.3 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 17.8 minutes per contest this season.
