Jose Alvarado Traded to Knicks, Bolstering Backcourt Depth

Jose Alvarado was traded from the New Orleans Pelicans to the New York Knicks on Thursday as part of a deadline swap. The deal sent Dalen Terry, two second-round picks, and cash to New Orleans. Alvarado, a Brooklyn native, is expected to bolster New York's backcourt depth. He averaged 7.9 points, 3.1 assists, and 0.9 steals in 21.9 minutes across 41 regular-season appearances with the Pelicans. He is questionable to make his debut Friday against the Pistons.
