Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Good to go Sunday

Alvarado (oblique) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game versus Phoenix, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Alvarado will return from a five-game absence due to a right oblique strain, so he could operate under a limited workload Sunday. The 25-year-old has averaged 6.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.3 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 17.8 minutes per contest this season.
