Pelicans signing Larry Nance Jr. to 2-year extension The New Orleans Pelicans are signing Larry Nance Jr. to a two-year extension worth $21.6 million without player or team options, a source to...
Agrees to two-year extension Nance agreed to a two-year, $21.6 million contract extension with the Pelicans on Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Nance compiled 7.3 points and 4.3 boards over 20.2 minutes per game in his nine appearances with the Pelicans last season after a trade sent him to the club in February. He is now locked in with the team through 2024-25 and appears set for a key bench role again this season.

Pelicans Larry Nance Jr. Highlights vs. LA Clippers ' 2022 NBA Play-In Tournament
APRIL 16, 2022 • YOUTUBE
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.

Larry Nance Jr. on Jaxson Hayes "He's a freak" ' Pelicans Shootaround 4-7-22
APRIL 7, 2022 • YOUTUBE
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.

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.
