Alvarado (knee) tallied six points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 preseason loss to the Wizards.
Alvarado was held out of Monday's preseason-opening loss to the 76ers due to a left knee contusion, though he returned to action in New York's second preseason game. The 28-year-old point guard struggled with efficiency, especially from downtown, though he sank both of his free-throw attempts.
