LARRY NANCE JR. NEWS

Provides spark off bench in win Nance posted 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 22 minutes during Saturday's 125-111 victory over the Wizards.

Impact It was Nance's highest scoring output since the Dec. 19 loss to the Spurs. The veteran big man is still working his way back from December right hand surgery, as he's shooting only 38.2 percent from the field over his last eight games. Nance is averaging 6.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.1 minutes during this period.

Double-doubles off bench Nance ended with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Monday's 132-130 win over the Pistons.

Impact Nance recorded his third double-double of the campaign in the win. He's been quiet in previous outings, but he's a name to monitor in deeper formats in case he can take advantage of his newfound minutes with Jalen Johnson (shoulder) out for the season and Clint Capela rumored to be on the trade block.

Available to play Nance (hand) is available for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Nance missed the first leg of Atlanta's back-to-back set Monday against Minnesota, presumably to be ready for Tuesday. He recently returned from a 12-game absence Saturday against the Raptors, finishing with four points, four rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes.

Won't play Monday Nance (hand) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Nance had missed 12 games while recovering from right hand surgery, but he managed to return Saturday against the Raptors and finished with four points, four rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes. He'll be sidelined for Monday's contest, but he could be available for Tuesday's clash against the Rockets. Dominick Barlow and Mouhamed Gueye could see some playing time behind Onyeka Okongwu and Clint Capela due to Nance's absence.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Monday Nance is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves due to right-hand injury management.

Impact Nance returned from a 12-game absence Saturday and he finds himself on the injury report again as he continues to ease back into play from a right hand injury. Nance could see a substantial role if he is able to suit up due to Jalen Johnson (shoulder) being sidelined.

Struggles as starter in return Nance scored four points (2-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt), grabbed four boards and dished one assist in 20 minutes during Saturday's 117-94 loss to the Raptors.

Impact The big man had missed 12 straight contests with a hand injury prior to Saturday's outing, but looked rusty in his return to say the least. He got thrust into a spot start with Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and De'Andre Hunter (illness) both sidelined, but failed to make the most of his volume, putting up a paltry line from the field and failing to make a real impact on either side of the ball. Although Johnson is out indefinitely, Hunter is expected to return soon, which would likely send Nance back to the bench.

Officially good to go Nance (hand) is available for Saturday's game versus the Raptors.

Impact Nance has been upgraded from probable to available Saturday after missing Atlanta's previous 12 outings due to recovering from right hand surgery. The 31-year-old big man is averaging 9.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 21.5 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Participates in shootaround Nance (hand) went through shootaround ahead of Saturday's game versus the Raptors, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Nance hasn't played since Dec. 28 after undergoing right hand surgery. However, the 31-year-old big man is deemed probable against Toronto, and all signs point toward him suiting up Saturday.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Nance (hand) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's game against the Raptors.

Impact After undergoing right hand surgery on Jan. 2, Nance appears to be on the verge of returning to Atlanta's lineup sooner than initially anticipated. With the veteran big man likely to play Saturday and Jalen Johnson (shoulder) ruled out, Nance's return would likely eat into the playing time of Dominick Barlow and David Roddy in the Hawks' second unit. That said, Nance could be facing a minutes restriction if he's indeed upgraded to available against Toronto.

Will be re-evaluated in one week Nance (hand) will be re-evaluated in one week after undergoing hand surgery on Jan. 2.

Impact Nance was initially expected to return after the All-Star break, but the fact that he'll be re-evaluated in a week suggests the big man could be progressing quicker than expected. In any case, don't expect Nance to be a factor in the rotation even if deemed available, so his return shouldn't have a lot of fantasy implications.
