Larry Nance Jr. (personal) ruled out Thursday for Pelicans
New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (personal) is out for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
The Pelicans didn't include Nance on the initial injury report, but he won't be available on Thursday night due to personal reasons. Jonas Valanciunas will likely see an uptick in playing time. Matt Ryan, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, and Cody Zeller are other candidates for more minutes.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Pelicans' implied total (107.25) is No. 8 out of 10 active teams today, while the game total (215.5) is the lowest on the board.
