Larry Nance Jr. out Tuesday, will play Wednesday for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers power forward Larry Nance Jr. (knee) will not suit up for Tuesday's game versus the Memphis Grizzlies, but he'll be back in action Wednesday versus the Phoenix Suns.
Nance probably won't be playing in back-to-back sets for the remainder of the season, in an effort to ensure he doesn't put too much pressure on his surgically repaired knee. Metta World Peace will likely play around 20 minutes off the bench with Nance inactive.
Nance has played 53 games this season and owns a -0.9 nERD, which ranks 86th. He's averaging 5.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 19.9 minutes per game while posting a 55.4 True Shooting Percentage. We project Nance to average 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists over the remaining course of the season while shooting 48.3 percent from the field.
