Jose Alvarado sustained a right leg injury during the third quarter of the Pelicans’ exhibition win over the Melbourne Phoenix, after contributing one rebound and four assists in 12 minutes off the bench. He will be reassessed upon the team’s return to New Orleans. Rookie Jeremiah Fears, starting in the absence of Dejounte Murray, showcased improved form with 12 points, one rebound, three assists, and one three-pointer, potentially taking on a larger role if Alvarado’s injury results in an extended absence.
