Larry Nance Jr. Gets Extension From Pels
2 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. agreed to a two-year, $21.6 million extension with the team on Saturday. C.J. McCollum recently received a two-year extension of his own, so it's apparent the Pels are making the necessary moves to be relevant for years to come. Nance was traded to New Orleans before the deadline but played only nine regular season games due to injury. However, he averaged 9.2 points and 5.8 rebounds throughout the postseason, although he shot a rough 22.2% from deep. If the 29-year-old can stay healthy in 2022-23, he'll have a chance to establish a meaningful role off the bench, possibly even getting some starts here and there. Either way, Nance should provide value for fantasy managers in deep formats.
