The moment fans saw Alvarado get stretchered, they all expected the worst.<\/p>\n Se llevan en camilla a Jos\u00e9 Alvarado \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf7, contusi\u00f3n espalda baja y cuello faltando 2:10 de TE, Argentina al frente @ElNuevoDia<\/a> @primerahora<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/86GzfYmkCV<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Levi Luna (@leviluna21) August 29, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Fortunately, Alvarado had a message for Pelicans fans that seemed to ease their worries. The Pelicans guard posted a health update on his Instagram story.<\/p>\n “Appreciate the love yall,” Alvarado said. “But your boy good. God got me.”<\/p>\n Jose Alvarado posts on IG after leaving tonight’s Puerto Rico game on a stretcher pic.twitter.com\/2wj1IPddkG<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Will Guillory (@WillGuillory) August 29, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Last season with the New Orleans Pelicans, Alvarado averaged 10.3 points, 4.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals on 39\/36\/81 shooting from the field. He started in 23 games for the team last season and has played roughly in 56 games in each season.<\/p>\n Apr 8, 2025; Brooklyn, New York, USA; New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (15) drives to the basket in the third quarter Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center.

The team may have lost CJ McCollum, Cam Whitmore, and Kelly Olynyk, but they still have excellent pieces in Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones, Dejounte Murray, and Yves Missi.<\/p>\n Each season, it feels like the Pelicans are poised to have a promising season because of how good their role players are, but their seasons ultimately rest upon the fate of Zion Williamson’s health. Without either Brandon Ingram or CJ McCollum available to take the load, it’s easy to see why critics would have such little faith in New Orleans.<\/p>\n Mar 19, 2025; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (1) shoots the ball over Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (30) in the first half at Target Center.
