Bad luck continues to pursue the Pelicans who already find themselves without Trey Murphy III, who had to undergo meniscus surgery on his left knee, and are now seeing Jose Alvarado join the infirmary…
The Puerto Rican leader had already had to withdraw from the World Cup due to a stress fracture in his tibia. This time, it was a sprained ankle which forced him to put an end to his training during the weekend, according to Shams Charania’s revelations.
If the duration of his unavailability is not yet known, “Grand Theft Alvarado” should already miss the start of the “training camp”, which is obviously not good news, especially since the franchise has already suffered a lot from injuries in recent seasons, particularly concerning Zion Williamson, impatiently awaited by fans of the Louisiana franchise to start this new season on the right foot.
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado suffered an ankle sprain during a workout this weekend and his availability for training camp is in question, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
