Jose Alvarado Out Against OKC

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (hamstring) won't play in Wednesday's contest against the Thunder. The Pels are thin currently, with Jordan Hawkins (back), Herbert Jones (shoulder), CJ McCollum (adductor), Dejounte Murray (hand), and Zion Williamson (hamstring) all on the shelf. But now Alvarado will join them after tweaking his hamstring in Monday's narrow loss to the Brooklyn Nets. With Alvarado and company sidelined, Brandon Ingram is the favorite to lead the way offensively. But there's also room for Trey Murphy III, Yves Missi, and Jaylen Nowell to get more involved.

Trey Murphy III Available To Make Season Debut Monday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (hamstring) has officially been upgraded to available, according to the team's X account. He'll make his season debut against the Brooklyn Nets after dealing with a hamstring issue that stemmed from the preseason. There hasn't been any word about a minute restriction, but it's likely that he won't be a 100% full-go right away. The Pelicans are dealing with a slew of injuries right now, so Murphy can start right away, but Jose Alvarado will continue to get big minutes, while Brandon Boston Jr. might take the biggest hit fantasy-wise.

Trey Murphy III Might Return On Monday

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (hamstring) is expected to make his 2024-25 debut on Monday against Brooklyn. The 24-year-old, who recently signed a four-year, $112 million extension, averaged 14.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 38.0% shooting from behind the arc last season. Unfortunately, he hasn't played yet this season because of a hamstring injury. Without question, this is certainly excellent news for the Pelicans, considering the team is without Dejounte Murray (hand), Zion Williamson (hamstring), and CJ McCollum (adductor). While Murphy could see limited time on the floor for a few games, it shouldn't take him long to enter the starting lineup, where he should remain until Murray, Williamson, and McCollum return.

Zion Williamson Out Indefinitely

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hamstring) is out indefinitely, the team announced on Saturday. The 24-year-old has averaged 22.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.2 blocks this season. However, he's been limited to only six games. Fantasy managers remember when a hamstring injury forced the former Duke Blue Devil to miss the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign, so there is obvious concern. Hopefully, that won't be the case this time around. With Williamson sidelined moving ahead, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, averaging 12.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in two starts this season, could continue to fill the void in the rotation, at least until Trey Murphy III (hamstring) or Herbert Jones (shoulder) are back on the court.

Zion Williamson Ruled Out Friday

According to Orlando Magic beat writer Adam Koffler, New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green announced that power forward Zion Williamson will not play in Friday's game against Orlando because of tightness in his left hamstring. The 24-year-old attempted to participate in the game on Wednesday but temporarily left due to an unspecified injury; however, he managed to complete the game. With Williamson unavailable, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Daniel Theis are expected to receive more minutes on the court.
