The New Orleans Pelicans just cannot catch a break.

Their injury list grew again on Tuesday morning, when it was announced by Shams Charania, via Legion Hoops, that Jose Alvarado is expected to miss six weeks because of a hamstring injury.

Alvarado suffered the injury during Monday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets and now he will begin the rehabilitation process.

The number of Pelicans players out with injuries right now is shocking.

Alvarado joins Zion Williamson, Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, and Jordan Hawkins.

Few teams have experienced the sort of bad luck New Orleans has right now and it’s not sure what they can do to recover from this.

They were already in a tough spot before Alvarado went down and have a 3-8 record.

With so many players out of commission, it’s difficult to imagine how they can rebound in the near future.

Alvarado has been having a great season so far, averaging 10.7 points and 4.5 assists off the bench during his 25.6 minutes per game.

He recently signed a two-year, $9 million contract extension before the start of the season and has become a bright star for the team.

Hopefully, this is the end of the Pelicans’ bad luck with injuries but it’s not clear which player will return first.

They are in such a deep hole with missing players right now so they need some sort of good news as soon as possible.

Is the season lost for the Pelicans or can they salvage things despite all these injuries?

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

Lakers Given Notable Odds To Make NBA Finals

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield.
