Larry Nance Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Cleveland Cavaliers

Set to miss 4-6 weeks The Pelicans announced Thursday that Nance aggravated his right rib fracture and is expected to miss approximately 4-6 weeks, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Nance missed Wednesday's game due to a non-COVID illness and was slated to miss a second consecutive matchup Friday, but he'll now be forced to miss extended time after aggravating his rib injury. Cody Zeller and Naji Marshall are candidates to see increased run while Nance is sidelined.

Won't play Friday Nance (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

Impact Nance was a late addition to the injury report for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, and he'll be forced to miss a second consecutive game due to a non-COVID illness. His next chance to suit up will be in the second half of a back-to-back set Saturday against Chicago, while Cody Zeller could see a slight uptick in playing time once again Friday.

Late scratch Wednesday Nance is out for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Nance was a late addition to New Orleans' injury report and will be held out of Wednesday's contest. Cody Zeller, Naji Marshall and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are candidates to receive extended minutes in his absence. Nance's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Spurs.

Handles light role in return Nance (ribs) played 12 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 117-112 win over the Kings, scoring four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and adding four rebounds and one steal.

Impact Nance was back in action after missing the Pelicans' previous four games with a right rib fracture. He saw only limited run as New Orleans' backup center and will likely struggle to crack 20 minutes in most games so long as Jonas Valanciunas stays healthy and avoids foul trouble.

Good to go against Sacramento Nance (ribs) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Kings, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nance has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous four games with a right rib fracture. Nance will likely continue to serve as New Orleans' backup center behind Jonas Valanciunas.

Listed as questionable Nance (ribs) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Impact Nance was diagnosed with a right rib fracture Nov. 13 but returned to practice Tuesday and may be able to suit up Wednesday. Before suffering the injury, Nance played at least 15 minutes in nine straight games to start the season, averaging 4.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per game during that stretch.

NOVEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Practices Tuesday Coach Willie Green said Nance (ribs) fully participated in Tuesday's practice, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Nance was diagnosed with a right rib fracture last Monday and was expected to miss 10-to-14 days. His return to practice is a positive sign, but it's unclear when he'll be cleared for game action. Following Wednesday's matchup against the Kings, New Orleans begins a three-game road trip against the Clippers on Friday.

Diagnosed with fractured rib The Pelicans announced Monday that Nance has been diagnosed with a right rib fracture and will be re-evaluated in 10-14 days.

Impact Nance played single-digit minutes for the first time this season during Sunday's loss to the Mavericks, and his injury helps explain his decreased role. The 30-year-old will now be forced to miss at least a week and a half, which could lead to an uptick in minutes for Cody Zeller and Naji Marshall. Nance came off the bench in his first 10 appearances of the season and averaged 3.8 points and 4.4 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays seven minutes Nance registered zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds in seven minutes during Sunday's 136-124 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Nance hasn't been listed on recent injury reports, but he's been grabbing at his right shoulder during the past couple games. The Pelicans gave Cody Zeller a bit more run than usual Sunday, so hopefully Nance will be fresh for Tuesday's game against Dallas.

NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient against Oklahoma City Nance provided nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 110-106 win over the Thunder.

Impact Nance dealt with an ankle injury during the preseason and has ramped up his playing time over the first four games of the regular season. The 30-year-old has secured at least five rebounds in every matchup, but Wednesday's performance was one of his best of the young season, as he played over 20 minutes while racking up multiple steals for the first time this year. Nance averaged 6.8 points and 5.4 rebounds in 21.2 minutes per game over 65 appearances last year, so his playing time may remain around where it was Wednesday.

Good to go for regular season Nance (ankle) said Friday that he'll be ready for the Pelicans' regular-season opener against the Grizzlies on Oct. 25.

Impact Nance didn't suit up this preseason due to a left ankle injury but has returned to practice. It appears that the Pelicans were just being cautious with the veteran big man so that he could be ready for the regular season. Nance is expected to be New Orleans' backup center behind Jonas Valanciunas.

Fully practices Thursday Nance (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

Impact Nance has missed the preseason due to an ankle injury but has been targeting an Opening Night return. With just under a week remaining until the regular-season opener against the Grizzlies on Wednesday, his full participation in practice is encouraging.

Out for 2-3 weeks Nance received a biological injection to stimulate the healing process in his left ankle and is expected to return to basketball activities in approximately 2-3 weeks, Andrew Lopez...

Impact Nance's ankle injury could cause him to miss most, if not all, of the preseason. However, he is expected to be fully healthy once the regular season rolls around. Nance will likely compete with Cody Zeller for the backup center position behind Jonas Valanciunas this season.

Pelicans rule out Nance for play-in game vs. Thunder

APRIL 13, 2023 • Associated Press

Will miss Play-In Nance (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's Play-In Game against the Thunder.

Impact Although Nance was able to make it through practice Tuesday, he was downgraded to out for Wednesday's contest after initially being tabbed questionable. Nance's absence should allow for Jaxon Hayes, Naji Marshall and WIlly Hernangomes to see more minutes. However, the Pelicans will likely trot out a tightened rotation for the win-or-go-home matchup. If New Orleans manages to defeat the Thunder on Wednesday, Nance will have another shot at playing Friday against Minnesota.

APRIL 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Offers little in loss Nance posted two points (1-2 FG), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 14 minutes during Friday's 114-112 loss to Houston.

Impact Nance barely troubled the official scorers, continuing what has been a rough six-week period. He is well outside the top 250 over the past month, falling off the radar even in slightly deeper leagues. He is someone to keep an eye on given what he can do in limited minutes, although based on what we have seen recently, an uptick in production seems unlikely.

Gets light run in return Nance (ankle) played eight minutes and finished with two points (1-1 FG) and two rebounds in Sunday's 127-110 win over Portland.

Impact Playing for the first time since Feb. 25 after missing the previous six games with a left ankle sprain, Nance received his second-fewest minutes of the season. Considering that Nance racked up three fouls during his limited time on the court before the game devolved into a blowout by the end of the third quarter, head coach Willie Green likely made a deliberate choice to restrict the big man's minutes. Nance should see his playing time pick up in future games, but he'll likely need a consistent 25-plus-minute role before he re-emerges as a pickup in most 12-team leagues.
