LARRY NANCE JR. NEWS

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.

Officially ruled out Nance (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Houston.

Impact Head coach Willie Green said earlier Tuesday that Nance would "probably" miss Wednesday's game due to a neck injury, and the team's official injury report later in the day confirmed that notion, though he's now being listed with right shoulder soreness. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) also out, Naji Marshall, Jaxson Hayes and others in the frontcourt should be in store for increased minutes during Wednesday's matchup against the Rockets.

Impact Nance continues to work his way back from a neck contusion and doesn't appear to have a particularly positive outlook leading up to Wednesday's game. Assuming he sits again, Naji Marshall, Jaxson Hayes and others in the frontcourt will likely see expanded minutes, especially with Zion Williamson (hamstring) already ruled out.

Unlikely to play Friday Nance (neck) is doubtful for Friday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact Nance will likely miss Friday's game after missing Thursday's practice due to a neck contusion he suffered against Minnesota. Willy Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes are candidates to see extended minutes if he can't suit up versus Philadelphia.

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Thursday Nance (neck) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

Impact Nance sustained a neck contusion during Wednesday's game against Minnesota, and the issue prevented him from practicing a day later. It's unclear whether he'll be available for Friday's game against Philadelphia or Saturday's matchup against the Grizzlies.

Won't return Wednesday Nance won't return to Wednesday's game against Minnesota due to a neck contusion, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nance logged 16 minutes of action and posted no points (0-1 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one steal before exiting early with an apparent neck injury. The forward will presumably be deemed questionable heading into the team's next contest Friday against the 76ers.

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in Monday's return Nance accumulated four points (2-4 FG), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 113-93 win over the Pacers.

Impact Nance logged just 19 minutes off the bench Monday, making his return after missing three straight contests due to an Achilles issue. While it was great to see him back on the floor, his playing time and subsequent production were both a little underwhelming. Chances are he was on a minute restriction, and given the fact the game was a blowout, he was simply not required to log heavy minutes. He remains a hold in standard fantasy formats despite having a somewhat inconsistent role from one night to the next.

DECEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will be available Monday Nance (Achilles) will be available Monday against the Pacers.

Impact This is great news for New Orleans, as having Nance available means they'll have 10 players in total for Monday's contest. The veteran big man is averaging 9.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists across 23.2 minutes per game this season, but don't be surprised if he ends up having a bigger workload due to how shorthanded the Pelicans will be in the frontcourt.

Teases double-double in loss Nance notched 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 132-129 overtime loss to the Jazz.

Impact Nance fell one rebound short of a double-double in the loss, putting together another balanced performance. Despite continuing to come off the bench, Nance is clearly the preferred option in the frontcourt alongside Zion Williamson during crunch time. While there will be some ups and downs along the way, Nance's ability to contribute across multiple categories makes him a must-roster player in all 12-team category leagues.
