Considered by some to be one of the most underrated trades of the past offseason, Larry Nance Jr.’s arrival in Portland ultimately didn’t change much. Truth be told, the veteran inside has already left Rip City, being sent alongside CJ McCollum and Tony Snell to New Orleans on Tuesday.
Pelicans fans will have to be patient to see their new recruit in action, however, as the power winger is set to undergo surgery on his right knee, which would keep him out of action for six weeks. ESPN announcement.
If Larry Nance Jr. manages to keep this provisional schedule, he could participate in the last weeks of the regular season. Currently at 22 wins for 32 losses, the Pelicans have not yet said goodbye to the “play in”, with a slight lead over the Blazers for 10th place in the West.
In his seventh year in the league, Larry Nance Jr. has 7 points and more than 5 rebounds per game this season.
