Nance (knee) is active for Wednesday's game against Portland, Daniel Sallerson of the Pelicans Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, the forward will be available to play for the Pelicans on Wednesday after missing the team's previous matchup against the Lakers with a knee injury. Nance is currently averaging 6.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game this season.

Nance (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Nance sat out on the second night of a back-to-back Sunday against the Lakers but should return Wednesday. He's played 18 and 19 minutes, respectively, in his two return games. It's possible his workload gets increased Wednesday.

Nance (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance was doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup, so his status doesn't come as a significant surprise. Naji Marshall and Herbert Jones should see additional run against the Lakers.

Nance (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Lakers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance returned to action Thursday for the first time since Jan. 7 and has appeared in each of the Pelicans' last two contests. However, the big man will likely get the night off during the second half of New Orleans' back-to-back set Sunday. Jonas Valanciunas (foot) is questionable as well, so the Pelicans' frontcourt depth may be tested against the Lakers.

Nance (knee) totaled nine points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Thursday's 126-109 victory over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Playing his first game for the Pelicans and seeing his first action since Jan. 5, Nance was understandably given a fairly light workload in his return from knee surgery. The veteran big will likely see a similar role for the remainder of the season, but he could put some pressure on Jaxson Hayes for minutes at power forward if Nance rounds into form quickly.

Nance (knee) will make his Pelicans debut Thursday against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Nance will presumably be on a minute restriction for at least a few games. After Thursday, the Pelicans head into a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back set versus the Spurs and Lakers, respectively, so it's possible the big man could be held out of one of those contests. Fantasy managers should at least keep tabs on the situation overall, as Nance could be an interesting late-season add if he can eventually trend toward minutes in the upper-20s.

Nance (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Updates on Nance have been scarce since he was shipped to New Orleans on Feb. 8 before undergoing right knee surgery just days later. Though he's seemingly progressed to the point of being ready to play Thursday, Nance will likely be on a minute restriction for at least a few games. After Thursday, the Pelicans head into a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back set versus the Spurs and Lakers, respectively, so it's possible the big man could be held out of one of those contests.

Nance will undergo surgery on his right knee Friday and is expected to need up to six weeks of recovery time, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Based on that timeline, Nance's knee surgery sounds like an arthroscopic procedure rather than a reconstructive one, therefore giving him a chance to make a late-season return. Given that Nance hasn't played since Jan. 5 and has a history of knee problems, there's a good chance he needs more than six weeks to regain conditioning and get back to full speed before making his debut for the Pelicans, who acquired him Tuesday as part of the blockbuster deal that also sent CJ McCollum to New Orleans. Once healthy, Nance should factor into the rotation at power forward or center, though the extent of his role could be determined by whether Zion Williamson (foot) is available to play by that point.

Nance (knee) is expected to undergo knee surgery later this week, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance hasn't played since Jan. 5 and the procedure will keep him off the court for at least the next six weeks, per Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com. The 29-year-old will have to wait for his Pelicans debut until the final stretch of the campaign or even next season if the surgery does indeed shut him down for the year.

Nance (knee) is out Thursday against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Nance is set to be re-evaluated soon. He's been out since early January with right knee inflammation. The next time he plays, he'll be debuting for his new team, the Pelicans. After a ramp-up period, it seems possible Nance could match the numbers he was accumulating with the Blazers, where he averaged 6.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 20 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.2 minutes.
