Alvarado Back in Action for Puerto Rico | New York Knicks News

Jose Alvarado is set to return to international play with Puerto Rico in crucial FIBA World Cup qualifiers against Argentina and Uruguay, offering a vital tune-up before his Knicks title defense. With a lucrative new deal on the line, the team’s biggest worry is injury — especially after his scary fall last year — but these games could also be a confidence-boosting opportunity. Expect more offensive reps and ball handling with Puerto Rico than he’s seen in the Finals, where he averaged just over four points. The Knicks hope for the best: strong performance abroad, full health, and a ready-to-roll role when camp opens. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
