Alvarado entered the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols prior to the Pelicans' 108-104 win over the Cavaliers on Tuesday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
The two-way rookie is one of three Pelicans included in the protocols, joining Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Naji Marshall. Even when available this season, Alvarado hasn't regularly factored into the New Orleans rotation.
