Pelicans Hit Hard by Injuries as Guard Jose Alvarado Sidelined for Six Weeks

The New Orleans Pelicans face a challenging season with multiple key players, including Jose Alvarado, out due to injuries.

Jose Alvarado, a key rotation player for the Pelicans, will miss six weeks due to a hamstring injury.
The Pelicans are currently without six key players, including Zion Williamson, Dejounte Murray, and CJ McCollum, due to various injuries.
Alvarado had been stepping up in the absence of other starters, averaging 17.2 points and 5.7 assists in recent games.
The team is struggling with a 3-8 record after a five-game losing streak, exacerbated by the loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
New Orleans may qualify for multiple hardship exceptions, allowing them to add extra players to their roster, but financial constraints could limit this option.
