As if matters could not get worse for the New Orleans Pelicans, Jose Alvarado has been hit by the injury bug. Alvarado, 26, is expected to miss the next six weeks with a hamstring injury, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.

Alvarado is the sixth different player to be hit with the injury bug in New Orleans, as he now joins CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, Zion Williamson, Jordan Hawkins, and Dejounte Murray on the team’s injured list. The only good news for the Pelicans is that Trey Murphy III, who missed the start of the season with a hamstring injury, returned on Monday night.

In a total of 11 games, Alvarado has averaged 10.7 points and 4.5 assists per game while shooting 39.6 percent from the floor and 40.0 percent from three-point range. He has started in a total of seven games with McCollum and Murray out of the lineup.

This story will be updated shortly.
