Jose Alvarado - Leads Puerto Rico in Olympics loss Alvarado ended with 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 22 minutes in Puerto Rico's 104-83 loss to Team USA in the Paris Olympics...
Impact Puerto Rico's Olympics campaign has officially ended with an 0-3 record in Group C. Alvarado led Puerto Rico to an early lead; however, once Team USA got going in the second quarter the game quickly got out of hand. The 26-year-old scored a team-high 18 points in the loss, and he served as the squad's top option throughout the group stage. In three group-phase appearances, Alvarado averaged 15.3 points, 3.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds across 23.7 minutes per game.

Daniel Theis - Comes close to double-double Theis finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in Friday's 85-71 win over France.
Impact Dennis Schroder and Franz Wagner led the way for Germany in the scoring column, but Theis was impressive in other areas, ultimately finishing just two boards and three points shy of a double-double. Theis is expected to remain as Germany's starting center in the knockout stages of the Olympics, keeping Moritz Wagner on a bench role.

Jose Alvarado - Game-high 26 points in loss Alvarado totaled 26 points (9-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists, two rebounds and two steals across 32 minutes in Puerto Rico's 90-79 loss to South Sudan in the Paris Olympics...
Impact Despite the loss, Alvarado was stellar against South Sudan as he put up a game-high 26 points. The 26-year-old has made a name for himself as a defensive nightmare for opposing backcourts, and he showed his offensive abilities while also tying the team-high of two steals. In 56 regular-season appearances with the Pelicans last year, Alvarado averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 18.4 minutes per game.
JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Daniel Theis - Perfect from field in win Theis tallied 18 points (7-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 20 minutes in Germany's 97-77 win over Japan in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
Impact Theis impressed with his performance against Japan, racking up a team-high seven boards while shooting 100 percent from the field. The 32-year-old will likely play a significant role in Germany's Olympic campaign, which is also his first appearance at the Olympics of his career. Theis will also be asked to excel on the glass and the defensive side of the ball, especially as the squad still has yet to play France's spectacular frontcourt in the group phase.
JULY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Jemison - Headed to New Orleans The Pelicans claimed Jemison off waivers Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Impact Jemison was waived by the Grizzlies earlier this week but will now have the opportunity to compete for minutes in the Pelicans' frontcourt rotation. In 2023-24, Jemison averaged 6.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 assists in 23.0 minutes across 25 regular-season appearances.
JULY 26 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Alvarado - Set to play for Puerto Rico Alvarado is included on Puerto Rico's roster for the Paris Olympics.
Impact Alvarado is slated to remain in New Orleans for a fourth consecutive year during the 2024-25 NBA season, but he'll first play for the Puerto Rican national team in the Olympics. Over 56 regular-season appearances with the Pelicans last year, he averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 18.4 minutes per game.
JULY 25 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Hawkins - Won't return Saturday Hawkins has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's Summer League game against the Nuggets due to a right ankle injury.
Impact Hawkins underwent X-rays after sustaining the injury, which came back negative. Still, the Pelicans will refrain from putting the 22-year-old back into its final Summer League contest. Hawkins will finish the game with three points (0-3 FG, 3-4 FT) and a block across 11 minutes. It's unclear if the injury will impact Hawkins' availability for training camp.
JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Karlo Matkovic - Sitting out SL finale Matkovic won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Nuggets due to left groin soreness, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Impact A draft-and-stash player from the 2022 NBA Draft, Matkovic joined the Pelicans' G League affiliate late in the 2023-24 season and has been part of the team's Summer League roster in Las Vegas. With the Pelicans a bit thin in the frontcourt, Matkovic could see occasional playing time during the upcoming season. His groin injury shouldn't impact his availability for training camp.
JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Yves Missi - Battling back soreness Missi won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Nuggets due to lower back soreness, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Impact Missi won't suit up for the Pelicans' final Summer League contest as he tends to pain in his lower back. The 20-year-old flashed some of the rim protection and athleticism in Las Vegas that coaxed the Pelicans into selecting him with the 21st overall pick in this year's draft. He should be ready to go for training camp.

Impact Missi hadn't been terribly impressive through his first three outings in Las Vegas, but he showed some promise Thursday with his instincts as a rim-defender and some nice footwork in the post. He's an impressive athlete, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of role he can earn in New Orleans his rookie season.
