Nance (shoulder) is available for Friday's matchup against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Nance has missed four straight games, three due to a neck contusion and one with right shoulder soreness. He was initially listed as questionable for Friday due to the shoulder injury, but it appears the versatile big man has moved past both issues and will return to game action against Brooklyn. Across 29 appearances, Nance is averaging 8.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 22.8 minutes, but given his extended time off, he may see limited playing time Friday.

Nance is questionable for Friday's game versus the Nets due to right shoulder soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Nance is questionable Friday due to shoulder soreness after missing the last four games with a neck contusion. He was considered doubtful for Wednesday's contest, so his upgraded status is a good sign that he will return soon. If Nance can't suit up Friday, his next chance to play will be Saturday's matchup with Dallas.

Nance (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Willie Green said earlier Tuesday that Nance would "probably" miss Wednesday's game due to a neck injury, and the team's official injury report later in the day confirmed that notion, though he's now being listed with right shoulder soreness. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) also out, Naji Marshall, Jaxson Hayes and others in the frontcourt should be in store for increased minutes during Wednesday's matchup against the Rockets.

Coach Willie Green indicated Tuesday that Nance (neck) did not practice, and Nance is "probably out" for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance continues to work his way back from a neck contusion and doesn't appear to have a particularly positive outlook leading up to Wednesday's game. Assuming he sits again, Naji Marshall, Jaxson Hayes and others in the frontcourt will likely see expanded minutes, especially with Zion Williamson (hamstring) already ruled out.

Nance (neck) is out for Monday's game against the 76ers, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance is one of four players out for the Pelicans ahead of Monday's game, meaning they'll be short on their depth again. This will be Nance's third straight absence and sixth across New Orleans' last eight games. His next chance to feature will come Wednesday at home against Houston.

Nance (neck) is doubtful for Friday's game versus the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Nance will likely miss Friday's game after missing Thursday's practice due to a neck contusion he suffered against Minnesota. Willy Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes are candidates to see extended minutes if he can't suit up versus Philadelphia.

Nance won't return to Wednesday's game against Minnesota due to a neck contusion, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance logged 16 minutes of action and posted no points (0-1 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one steal before exiting early with an apparent neck injury. The forward will presumably be deemed questionable heading into the team's next contest Friday against the 76ers.
