New York Knicks reserve guard Jose Alvarado will miss Friday's NBA Cup game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a right ankle injury, per the NBA's injury report. Alvarado has now missed four consecutive games, with his last appearance coming last Friday in Boston for 10 minutes. Knicks coach Mike Brown offered no indication this is a long-term issue when questioned Tuesday night.
In Alvarado's absence, Tyler Kolek has stepped up admirably, dishing out 21 assists with zero turnovers over the past three games.
