Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum, Dejounte Murray, Herb Jones, Jordan Hawkins and now… Jose Alvarado. This is the updated list of injured Pelicansto this day.
ESPN thus informs us of the absence of the Puerto Rican leader for six weeks, due to his hamstring injury. On the basis of the best season of his career (10.7 points, 4.5 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals), he had recently become a starter because of the cascade of injuries New Orleans.
Now deprived of training leaders, while Jose Alvarado but also Dejounte Murray and CJ McCollum were supposed to take turns at position 1, the Pelicans should now start recruit several players to support an increasingly lonely Brandon Ingram in Louisiana, despite the recent return of Trey Murphy III.
We imagine that players like Markelle Fultz or Dennis Smith Jr. could take advantage of this to find a place in an NBA squad. Unless the leaders of New Orleans turn to other profiles to play the jokers with these ten-day “hardship exceptions”.
