Zion Williamson won’t be the only major absentee for the Pelicans. The latter will also have to face the Thunder in “play-in” next night without jose alvarado.
The formation of NOLA announced that the substitute point guard, absent since February 27 with a stress fracture in his right tibia, has resumed his activities on the pitch, but has not yet been cleared to return to the game. Pelicans vice-president David Griffin said in a statement that Jose Alvarado would miss the game against OKC.
The Brooklyn native, who turns 25 today, isn’t expected to play for at least a week. In other words, he would only return if his team qualified for the playoffs and could even miss the first games of the first round, potentially against the Nuggets…
To face the latter, the Pelicans will have to win against this young team from Oklahoma and follow up with a victory on the Wolves floor, beaten last night by the Lakers. ” The precise timetable for his return will be announced at a later date. “, finished the Pelicans about their point guard, who has become an important part of Willie Green’s rotation.
In his second NBA season, the undrafted player, a veritable ball of energy, has 9 points, 3 assists and more than one interception per game.
Finally, note that Larry Nance Jr.whose left ankle is painful, is also unsure for this game.
