Pelicans’ Jose Alvarado stretchered off court after scary fall in AmeriCup

New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado suffered an injury after a scary fall in Puerto Rico’s AmeriCup game on Thursday night against Argentina. After appearing to suffer some sort of lower back or tailbone injury, Alvarado was in serious pain and could not get up off the court on his own. Alvarado was attended to on the ground for several minutes before he was removed from the arena for further testing on a stretcher. The good news for the Pelicans and their 27-year-old guard is that he later posted on Instagram that he was fine.
