Alvarado Set for Return

Jose Alvarado, the reserve point guard for the New Orleans Pelicans, has confirmed his return to the court for the upcoming game against the Washington Wizards. This will end a 23-game absence caused by a right hamstring strain, allowing him to rejoin his teammates and contribute to the team's efforts.
Excitement for Return
Alvarado shared his enthusiasm about getting back into action, stating, "I will be playing tomorrow for sure. No doubt and I'm excited just to put the jersey back on and go out there and go hoop." His eagerness reflects a strong desire to reconnect with the fans and showcase his skills once again.
Season Performance
In the current NBA season, Alvarado has participated in 11 games, starting in seven of them, with an average of 10.7 points, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. His last appearance was on November 11 against the Brooklyn Nets, after which he faced a significant recovery period due to his injury.
Team Status
While Alvarado prepares to make his comeback, the Pelicans will be missing key players. Forward Brandon Ingram remains sidelined with a left ankle sprain, missing his 11th consecutive game. Power forward Zion Williamson is also out, continuing his recovery from a left hamstring strain, which has kept him off the court for 26 games.
