Larry Nance Jr. News
New Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. (ribs) was diagnosed with a right rib fracture and the team is going to re-evaluate him in 10-to-14 days to determine the healing process and figure out a firm timetable for his return. The veteran forward was playing a depth role off of the bench as he averaged 3.8 points and 4.4 rebounds across 15.7 minutes per game. While he's out, Naji Marshall, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, and Matt Ryan will continue seeing minutes off of the bench. Marshall has seen the most minutes so far, so he'd likely be the best streaming option of the three.
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (ankle) expects to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Grizzlies. He announced that his left ankle "feels great," and in his eyes, playing in the first game of the season "was never a question." Nance Jr. has never featured in more than 67 games during a season, so injuries are nothing new for the eight-year veteran. It's good to know that he can kick off the new campaign without any health issues. The 30-year-old finished last season averaging 6.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 21.2 minutes. His fantasy value is limited as long as Zion Williamson and Jonas Valanciunas are healthy.
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (ankle) is in doubt for the team's season opener, but general manager Trajan Langdon hopes to have him available. Last week, the Pelicans announced Nance had received a biological injection to stimulate the healing process in his left ankle, and he is expected to return to basketball activities in two to three weeks. The 30-year-old enjoyed his first full season in New Orleans last term, shooting a career-high 61 percent from the field and contributing 6.8 points and 5.4 rebounds off the bench. Langdon also hopes to get guard Jose Alvarado (ankle) in the lineup for the season opener, which comes on Oct. 25 for the Pelicans against Memphis.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's playoff contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Nance was able to play 17 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, it appears the left ankle issue is still bothering Nance. His absence should open up additional playing time for Jaxson Hayes. Although, it's unlikely that Nance gets enough playing time to warrant using in DFS contests.
