Jose Alvarado will miss Friday’s NBA Cup game against the Philadelphia 76ers because of a right ankle injury, according to the NBA’s injury report. The New York Knicks reserve guard will miss his fourth straight game. He last played last Friday in Boston, logging 10 minutes.
Knicks coach Mike Brown did not indicate that the injury is a long-term issue when asked about it Tuesday night.
In Alvarado’s absence, Tyler Kolek has played well, recording 21 assists and zero turnovers over the past three games.
