According to Pelicans reporter Andrew Lopez, Pelicans guard Alvarado clashed with opposing All-Star center Joel Embiid in a 76ers game on Wednesday and suffered a technical foul. According to the league's rules, the rookie player will be fined $2,000, and Embiid actually took the initiative to contact the other party and pay the fine on his behalf.
As a failed draft, Alvarado currently has only one two-way contract, not much $2,000, but it's not a small amount for him. Embiid's annual salary this season is as high as $31.58 million.
