The New Orleans Pelicans suffered another injury blow to the season, losing guard Jose Alvarado for six weeks due to a hamstring strain, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.

Alvarado suffered the injury in Monday’s home loss to the Brooklyn Nets.

In a season ravaged by injuries, Pelicans are now without six key rotation players: Alvarado, Zion Williamson, Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum, Herb Jones and Jordan Hawkins.

Alvarado has had standout performances recently, posting 20-plus points and five assists in back-to-back games last week. He has averaged 15 points, five assists and 1.7 steals while shooting 41.9 percent from three-point range this month.

For the season, Alvarado is averaging 10.7 points, 4.5 assists and 2.2 rebounds per game. He signed a two-year, $9 million contract extension prior to the season.
