Larry Nance Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Probable for Thursday Nance (groin) is considered probable to take the floor Thursday against the Raptors.

Impact Nance was a late addition to the injury report and ultimately missed the final game of the first half against the Lakers. Following the All-Star break, it appears he should be back in the fold for his usual workload. Nance finished the first half averaging 8.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists over 22.7 minutes per game.

Downgraded to out Nance (groin) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Nance was a late addition to the injury report Wednesday with soreness in his left groin and will end up missing the contest. Willy Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes figure to see the majority of backup center action behind Jonas Valanciunas. Nance's next chance to play will come against the Raptors on Feb. 23.

Late addition to injury report Nance is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Lakers due to left groin soreness.

Impact Nance was a late addition to the injury report and is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 7. If he is ruled out, Willy Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes would be candidates to work their way back into the rotation as backups behind Jonas Valanciunas.

Returns to the bench Nance will return to the bench Tuesday against the Hawks.

Impact Naji Marshall is also moving to the bench, as both Jonas Valanciunas and Brandon Ingram are back in the starting lineup. Even in a reserve role, Nance has been very productive over his last five games and has been scooped up in a lot of fantasy leagues as a result.

Records another double-double Nance contributed 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two steals and one assist in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 122-113 loss to Denver.

Impact While Nance hasn't seen a massive spike in his production for the entirety of Zion Williamson's ongoing absence due to a hamstring injury, the 30-year-old has been coming on strong of late with starting center Jonas Valanciunas taking more of a back seat than he had been previously. Over his last seven games, Nance has averaged 9.3 points, 7.1 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.6 blocks in 24.3 minutes per contest while shooting 60.5 percent from the field and 84.6 percent from the charity stripe.

Records double-double in loss Nance produced 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 24 minutes during Sunday's 135-110 loss to the Bucks.

Impact The Pelicans ran with a tight rotation due to the number of injuries on the roster, and it helped out Nance as he notched his first double-double of the season. Nance has struggled to stay healthy during his tenure in New Orleans, but if he can stay off the injury report, he'll have fantasy relevancy while Zion Williamson (hamstring) is out.

Increased role Saturday Nance closed with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 28 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Nance saw a few extra minutes in the loss, a result of Jonas Valanciunas being ejected in the second quarter. Despite the uptick in playing time, Nance failed to bring the goods, continuing what has been a rough couple of weeks. In fact, his month high for January is 12 points. After establishing a solid role alongside Zion Williamson (hamstring) earlier in the season, Nance has since been shuffled down the rotation. His production could increase when Williamson returns but until that point, he is better suited for deeper formats.

All-around showing off bench Nance logged 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 100-96 loss to the Heat.

Impact Nance was one of six Pelicans players to score in double figures Sunday, posting a season-high-tying mark in steals while leading the bench in rebounds and assists. Nance recorded his first double-digit scoring total since scoring 13 points Dec. 15, and he's scored 10 or more points with five or more rebounds on 12 occasions this year.

Non-factor in Monday's loss Nance supplied four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 15 minutes during Monday's 113-103 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Nance continues to play limited minutes, logging fewer than 21 minutes for the third straight game. He has struggled to build any momentum since returning from injury, sitting outside the top 250 over the past two weeks. We saw Nance putting up 12-team value earlier in the season, but he really struggles when Zion Williamson (hamstring) isn't on the floor. Until Williamson returns, Nance is unlikely to be anything more than a possible stream candidate in fantasy.

JANUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good defensive effort in return Nance (shoulder) finished Monday's 132-112 win over the Wizards with six points (3-6 FG), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes.

Impact After missing last game with a shoulder injury, Nance returned with some better production compared to his previous appearances. He took only six shots in 25 minutes of action, but he added solid value with his rebounding and defensive stats. If he can get back to these kinds of minutes, the veteran forward provides great stream potential at the very least.

JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available Monday Nance (shoulder) is available Monday against Washington.

Impact Nance was unavailable Saturday against Dallas due to a sore right shoulder, but he'll be back in action against the Wizards after being listed as probable. He returned from a four-game absence Friday against Brooklyn and was held scoreless with eight rebounds and a block in 21 minutes.

JANUARY 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Monday Nance is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Wizards due to right shoulder soreness, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact This is certainly a step in the right direction after Nance missed Saturday's game against Dallas with the same injury. The veteran is averaging 6.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game since the start of December.

Sitting out Saturday Nance will miss Saturday's game versus the Mavericks due to right shoulder soreness, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Nance rejoined the action following a four-game absence Friday, but he will be back on the sidelines Saturday in the second game of a back-to-back set. Nance's next opportunity to suit up arrives Monday against the Wizards.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Eight boards in return Nance (shoulder) recorded zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and one block across 21 minutes in Friday's 108-102 loss to the Nets.

Impact Nance was back in action after a four-game absence, but the lack of production on the offensive end rendered his return a rather uneventful one. Now that he's healthy again, the 30-year-old may see a slight uptick in playing time while Zion Williamson (hamstring) is sidelined, though Naji Marshall and Jaxson Hayes seem more likely to benefit from Williamson's absence.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Friday Nance (shoulder) is available for Friday's matchup against the Nets.

Impact Nance has missed four straight games, three due to a neck contusion and one with right shoulder soreness. He was initially listed as questionable for Friday due to the shoulder injury, but it appears the versatile big man has moved past both issues and will return to game action against Brooklyn. Across 29 appearances, Nance is averaging 8.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 22.8 minutes, but given his extended time off, he may see limited playing time Friday.

Questionable against Brooklyn Nance is questionable for Friday's game versus the Nets due to right shoulder soreness.

Impact Nance is questionable Friday due to shoulder soreness after missing the last four games with a neck contusion. He was considered doubtful for Wednesday's contest, so his upgraded status is a good sign that he will return soon. If Nance can't suit up Friday, his next chance to play will be Saturday's matchup with Dallas.
