Larry Nance Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers

Productive off bench Nance accumulated 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Onyeka Okongwu was rested, and the Hawks were shorthanded elsewhere as well. Nance has a history of being productive in category leagues when the minutes are there, and Monday night was no different. He wasn't in the rotation in the opening three games of the season, however, but he did make a case to the coaching staff that he'll be ready when his name is called.

Shipped to Atlanta The Pelicans traded Nance, Dyson Daniels and two first-round picks to the Hawks in exchange for Dejounte Murray on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Nance averaged 5.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 19.9 minutes across 61 bench appearances for the Pelicans in 2023-24. His role in Atlanta is unclear, as Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu will likely both feature ahead of him in the frontcourt rotation. Regardless, Nance has displayed versatility on the defensive end as well as an improved outside shot, converting 41.5 percent of 1.1 three-point attempts per contest last season.

Good to go Saturday Nance (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder.

Impact Nance was held to just 14 minutes of action in Game 2 due to an apparent right ankle injury. However, Nance should be available to continue serving as one of New Orlean's primary frontcourt options off the bench in Game 3.

APRIL 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Practices Friday Nance (undisclosed) was a full participant in practice Friday, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Impact Nance left Wednesday's Game 2 loss to the Thunder in the third quarter favoring his right leg and grabbed at his ankle as he immediately walked back to the locker room. On Friday, coach Willie Green said that despite the soreness, Nance "went through a full practice." This is good news for the Pelicans, who are still without Zion Williamson (hamstring).

Returns from locker room Nance (leg) has rejoined the Pelicans bench after a brief trip to the locker room during Wednesday's Game 2 against Oklahoma City, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Nance went back to the locker room late in the third quarter but returned to the Pelicans bench to open up the fourth quarter. He should be considered good to go for the final period.

Heads to locker room Nance went back to the locker room during Wednesday's Game 2 against the Thunder with what seems to be a right leg issue, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Nance exited the contest late in the third inning and went back to the Pelicans locker room. While he's absent, Jonas Valanciunas could see more of the center work while Naji Marshall and Dyson Daniels could slide into larger roles. Nance should be considered questionable to return.

Available for Sunday Nance (personal) will be available for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Nance will return from a two-game absence. He's appeared in five April contests, averaging 5.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals.

Remains out Friday Nance (personal) won't play in Friday's game versus the Warriors.

Impact Nance will miss his second straight game Friday due to personal reasons. Jonas Valanciunas, Cody Zeller and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Nance's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Lakers.

Good to go against Spurs Nance (undisclosed) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus San Antonio.

Impact After leaving Wednesday's contest against Orlando early due to an undisclosed injury, Nance is available Friday. The 30-year-old forward is averaging 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 23.5 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Sustains injury Wednesday Nance exited with 51 seconds remaining in the third quarter and didn't return to Wednesday's 117-108 loss to the Magic due to an apparent injury, Will Guillory of The Athletic repo...

Impact Head coach Willie Green didn't provide any further details behind what resulted in Nance's removal from the contest, but Guillory notes that the veteran big man was able to return to the Pelicans bench after a brief trip to the locker room. The fact that Nance wasn't able to return at any point in the fourth quarter makes his status worth monitoring heading into Friday's game against the Spurs, particularly after Zion Williamson sustained a left middle finger contusion in the closing minutes of Wednesday's loss.

Logs 33 minutes off bench Nance provided four points (2-4 FG), two rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 loss to the Thunder.

Impact While Nance continues to come off the bench in New Orleans, he's averaging more minutes (23.5) through March than the Pelicans' starting center, Jonas Valanciunas (18.4). JV saw just 10.5 minutes of floor time Tuesday night and finished with six points, six rebounds and one assist to his credit.

MARCH 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double off bench Tuesday Nance registered 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 104-91 win over Brooklyn.

Impact It's only the second double-double of the season for Nance, with the other coming Dec. 31 against the Lakers. The 31-year-old big has begun seeing a bigger role in the New Orleans frontcourt in March, however -- he's played at least 27 minutes in four of his last five games, averaging 8.4 points, 5.0 boards, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 25.8 minutes a contest during that stretch while shooting 59.3 percent from the floor. If that workload holds up, he might put himself back on the fantasy radar.
