Pelicans Hope To Have Larry Nance Jr. Ready For Season Opener
1 year agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (ankle) is in doubt for the team's season opener, but general manager Trajan Langdon hopes to have him available. Last week, the Pelicans announced Nance had received a biological injection to stimulate the healing process in his left ankle, and he is expected to return to basketball activities in two to three weeks. The 30-year-old enjoyed his first full season in New Orleans last term, shooting a career-high 61 percent from the field and contributing 6.8 points and 5.4 rebounds off the bench. Langdon also hopes to get guard Jose Alvarado (ankle) in the lineup for the season opener, which comes on Oct. 25 for the Pelicans against Memphis.
