The Pelicans are picking up Alvarado's $1.99 million team option for 2024-25, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported Friday. An undrafted point guard out of Georgia Tech, Alvarado has solidified himself as the Pelicans' top backup point guard over the last three seasons and will likely maintain that role next season. Last season, Alvarado averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 18.4 minutes per game across 56 regular-season appearances.

Jose Alvarado Latest News
Sticks in New Orleans
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/new-orleans-pelicans-logo.png?w=150)
The Pelicans are picking up Alvarado's $1.99 million team option for 2024-25, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported Friday. An undrafted point guard out of Georgia Tech, Alvarado has solidified himself as the Pelicans' top backup point guard over the last three seasons and will likely maintain that role next season. Last season, Alvarado averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 18.4 minutes per game across 56 regular-season appearances.
Plays significant role in loss
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/new-orleans-pelicans-logo.png?w=150)
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.
No limitations in return
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/new-orleans-pelicans-logo.png?w=150)
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.
Good to go Sunday
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/new-orleans-pelicans-logo.png?w=150)
Alvarado (oblique) has been cleared for 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 logged just 908 total minutes this season while dealing with a myriad of minor injuries after accumulating 1,311 minutes last year. Alvarado ramping up into the rotation as New Orleans attempts to escape the Play-In Tournament would be a notable addition.
Questionable against Suns
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/new-orleans-pelicans-logo.png?w=150)
Alvarado (oblique) is questionable to face the Suns on Sunday. Alvarado has missed the past five games for New Orleans, but he's now considered day-to-day. During the month of March, Alvarado averaged 6.7 points, 2.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals.
Another absence coming
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/new-orleans-pelicans-logo.png?w=150)
Alvarado (oblique) is out for Friday's game versus the Spurs. Alvarado's absence streak will extend to five games Friday due to a right oblique strain. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Phoenix.
Won't play Wednesday
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/new-orleans-pelicans-logo.png?w=150)
Alvarado (oblique) will be inactive Wednesday versus Orlando. Alvarado will miss his fourth consecutive game due to a right oblique strain. The Pelicans have limped to a 2-4 record without him since the All-Star break, although Dyson Daniels (knee) returning to action as of March 30 adds depth to the backcourt.
Still sidelined
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/new-orleans-pelicans-logo.png?w=150)
Alvarado (oblique) is out for Monday's game against the Suns. Alvarado will miss a third consecutive game due to an oblique strain. Jordan Hawkins will likely see an increase in playing time with Alvarado out of the lineup.
Won't play Saturday
![Team logo](https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/new-orleans-pelicans-logo.png?w=150)
Alvarado (oblique) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Celtics. Alvarado didn't practice Friday and will miss a second straight game due to a right oblique strain. His next chance to suit up will come Monday versus Phoenix, but barring a return to practice over the weekend, Alvarado likely won't be available for that contest.
