Jose Alvarado ruled out Wednesday due to left oblique soreness

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado, 27, will not play in Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to left oblique soreness. This absence is on the second leg of a back-to-back set. The team anticipates a decent chance for his return in Friday's game versus the Wizards. With Alvarado watching from the sidelines Wednesday night, Jordan Hawkins might be able to get into the rotation.
