Pelicans say ?Jose Alvarado has been cleared to resume on-court basketball activities. He will be out for tomorrow?s game against Oklahoma City and is not expected to play for at least one week. A specific timeline for his return will be announced at a later date.?

Feels a bit strange to make a new thread for it but there wasn't any currently-open thread that seemed appropriate, so here it is.
Jose is on the road back! He won't be a figure in the play-ins but if we make the playoffs he could appear at some point during the first round.
This team has missed Jose so much, I'm glad to see him (apparently) on the path to an imminent return. He's a fan favourite for a reason.

My interest in this season might perk up if the Lakers lose tonight. That would be kinda important.
If they win and avoid the lottery then nah. Jose and Zion need to look forward to September. -
04-11-2023, 10:45 PMhornetsrebirthId rather the Lakers win tonight. I feel like we matchup better against Minnesota.Quote:

Minnesota proving once again the be the dumbest basketball team on the planet. Did not need to chuck a 3 after that steal. But thats them.
And you just lost to that.
:rolleyes: -
04-12-2023, 08:34 AMhornetsrebirthThat why I wanted them to lose against the Lakers. I truly believe we can beat them in a best of 3 series on the road even without Zion.Quote:
