LARRY NANCE JR. NEWS

Re-evaluation on tap after setback Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups said that Nance (knee) had a "little setback" earlier Sunday and will be re-evaluated, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 62...

Impact Nance has missed 17 consecutive games due to right knee inflammation, but he appeared to be on the cusp of a return after Portland upgraded him to questionable before ruling him out ahead of Friday's 96-93 loss to the Thunder. He then proceeded to sit out the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday in a 137-108 loss to Milwaukee, with Billups providing an explanation behind Nance's continued absence when he met with the media Sunday. Based on Billups' comments, Nance can probably be ruled out for the Trail Blazers' upcoming Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set versus the Magic and Lakers, respectively, but how much time the 29-year-old misses beyond that will hinge on just how serious his setback was.

Still out Nance (knee) will not play in Friday's matchup with the Thunder, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 reports.

Questionable for Friday Nance (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Thunder, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 reports.

Impact Nance suffered his knee injury early in January, and it seems that the forward is finally nearing his return. After missing the Trail Blazers' last 15 games, Nance could see limited action behind Robert Covington if he is able to play. Portland plays Milwaukee on Saturday, so if Nance is unable to play Friday, he could be available for the second end of the back-to-back.

Likely out until February Nance (knee) is reportedly dealing with a bone bruise in his right knee and is likely to be sidelined until at least the early part of February, Danny Marang of BlazersEdge.com rep...

Impact Citing Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com, Marang writes that Nance is expected to be sidelined for around a month with the knee injury he first sustained Jan. 5. With Portland having yet to provide a concrete update on where Nance stands in his recovery, fantasy managers shouldn't count on him playing at any point during the Trail Blazers' upcoming four-game week. Robert Covington should continue serving as Portland's starting power forward for the duration of Nance's absence.
