INJURIES

Double-doubles off bench Nance finished Friday's 105-101 win over the Clippers with 14 points (7-8 FG, 0-2 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes.
Impact Nance was efficient from the field en route to 14 points and grabbed a game-high 16 rebounds, notching his first double-double of the campaign. The Clippers came out of halftime sporting a small-ball lineup, and after the Pelicans coughed up their double-digit lead, they adjusted by essentially benching Jonas Valanciunas and running with Nance as the primary center. Nance's versatility countered the Clippers' small-ball lineup perfectly, but Valanciunas will likely return to his usual role during the first-round matchup against the Suns.

Puts up 10 and eight in loss Nance amassed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one block in 28 minutes during Sunday's 119-100 loss to the Clippers.
Impact This was a rather unremarkable stat line for Nance, but he did see 28 minutes of action -- easily his most since coming back from the knee injury that sidelined him from early January through late March. Nance could get some extended looks in the week ahead as the Pelicans prepare for the postseason, and he looks to have settled in as the first big man off the bench behind starters Jaxson Hayes and Jonas Valanciunas. Willy Hernangomez was a DNP-CD on Sunday for the third straight game.

Active Wednesday Nance (knee) is active for Wednesday's game against Portland, Daniel Sallerson of the Pelicans Radio Network reports.
Impact As expected, the forward will be available to play for the Pelicans on Wednesday after missing the team's previous matchup against the Lakers with a knee injury. Nance is currently averaging 6.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game this season.
MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Probable at Portland Nance (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact Nance sat out on the second night of a back-to-back Sunday against the Lakers but should return Wednesday. He's played 18 and 19 minutes, respectively, in his two return games. It's possible his workload gets increased Wednesday.

Ruled out Sunday Nance (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
Impact Nance was doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup, so his status doesn't come as a significant surprise. Naji Marshall and Herbert Jones should see additional run against the Lakers.
MARCH 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Unlikely to play Sunday Nance (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Lakers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Nance returned to action Thursday for the first time since Jan. 7 and has appeared in each of the Pelicans' last two contests. However, the big man will likely get the night off during the second half of New Orleans' back-to-back set Sunday. Jonas Valanciunas (foot) is questionable as well, so the Pelicans' frontcourt depth may be tested against the Lakers.

Limited run in return Nance (knee) totaled nine points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Thursday's 126-109 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Playing his first game for the Pelicans and seeing his first action since Jan. 5, Nance was understandably given a fairly light workload in his return from knee surgery. The veteran big will likely see a similar role for the remainder of the season, but he could put some pressure on Jaxson Hayes for minutes at power forward if Nance rounds into form quickly.

Making Pels debut Thursday Nance (knee) will make his Pelicans debut Thursday against the Bulls.
Impact Nance will presumably be on a minute restriction for at least a few games. After Thursday, the Pelicans head into a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back set versus the Spurs and Lakers, respectively, so it's possible the big man could be held out of one of those contests. Fantasy managers should at least keep tabs on the situation overall, as Nance could be an interesting late-season add if he can eventually trend toward minutes in the upper-20s.
MARCH 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
On track for team debut Thursday Nance (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Updates on Nance have been scarce since he was shipped to New Orleans on Feb. 8 before undergoing right knee surgery just days later. Though he's seemingly progressed to the point of being ready to play Thursday, Nance will likely be on a minute restriction for at least a few games. After Thursday, the Pelicans head into a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back set versus the Spurs and Lakers, respectively, so it's possible the big man could be held out of one of those contests.
