Lance Jr. had not played since January 5th after suffering a knee injury.</p><p>Well, on Wednesday, the Pelicans announced they will be without Nance Jr. for at least the next month, <a href="https://twitter.com/_Andrew_Lopez/status/1491608594567118851">but probably longer</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Can confirm Larry Nance Jr. is scheduled to have surgery on his right knee Friday.

The team believes he will miss up to the next six weeks. It’s unknown if the Pelicans were aware of the severity of Nance Jr.’s injury. But it is likely they were and decided to swallow that pill anyway to land McCollum.</p><p>New Orleans currently sits 10th in the Western Conference. That would get them into the Play-In Tournament. If the season ended today, they would play Minnesota Timberwolves. The team that sits right behind them in 11th is the Blazers. So, it stands to reason the Pelicans can hold them off, seeing as Portland appears to be cashing in their chips and the Pelicans are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-pelicans-blazers-cj-mccollum-blockbuster-trade/" rel="noopener">putting theirs in the middle.</a></p><p>Nance Jr. was in the midst of his first season with Portland prior to the trade. His numbers were down across the board. Nance Jr. is averaging a little over six points and five rebounds per game. Most importantly, his minutes had been significantly slashed from the previous four seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers.</p><p>He will be a welcomed edition if he makes it back from the knee surgery. New Orleans superstar Zion Williamson is yet to play this season after fracturing his 5th metatarsal during the offseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He finished the night with 16 points, nine rebounds, and three assists in 25 minutes, while also scoring very efficiently. <a href="https://twitter.com/AJ_McCord/status/1461218760749031428">According to AJ McCord</a>, the Blazers’ arena celebrated Nance Jr. with an epic crowd chant:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Asked <a href="https://twitter.com/Larrydn22?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@Larrydn22</a> about this moment after the game: </p><p>"I had my mask on, I was trying not to smile too hard, that was incredible…I promise that they're going to get that [heart &amp; hustle] from me every night" <a href="https://t.co/AjyISxKF03" target="_blank">https://t.co/AjyISxKF03</a></p><p>— AJ McCord (@AJ_McCord) <a href="https://twitter.com/AJ_McCord/status/1461218760749031428?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 18, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>His first season with Portland, Nance Jr. vowed that he would play his heart out each and every night for the fans, and that he was extremely grateful for them. Especially in the month of November, the big man has been making his presence felt, scoring in double-digits in three of his past five games.</p><p>The Blazers pulled off a much-needed victory, considering how slow they started out the season under new head coach Chauncey Billups. With a two game winning streak, the team is now back at .500 with a record of 8-8. They sit in seventh place in the Western Conference, and look to play better together under a new system.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/frustrated-damian-lillard-blasts-rule-changes-after-blazers-loss-to-clippers/">Point guard Damian Lillard’s struggles have been a major issue</a> for a team that has been quite stagnant with their postseason aspirations. Though they have made the playoffs a myriad of times, they have failed to make it to the later rounds. Lillard is currently averaging 20.4 points per night, which would be the lowest since his rookie season. His success is necessary if the Blazers want to thrive in the postseason. But for now, Portland can celebrate Larry Nance Jr.’s big night.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It’s not LeBron James, but someone who’s deeply rooted in Cleveland—Larry Nance Jr. The former Cavs forward paid a visit to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse together with the Portland Trail Blazers, hoping to steal a victory.</p><p>As expected, Cavs fans inside the arena gave Nance Jr. the warm welcome he deserves after being a valuable member of the team and community while donning the wine and gold for four years.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The Cavs welcome <a href="https://twitter.com/Larrydn22?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@Larrydn22</a> back to Cleveland ❤️</p><p>(pls watch <a href="https://twitter.com/2ez_nassie?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@2ez_nassie</a> 😂) <a href="https://t.co/NGMLmkEiYc" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/NGMLmkEiYc</a></p><p>— Portland Trail Blazers (@trailblazers) <a href="https://twitter.com/trailblazers/status/1456039873442369541?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">November 3, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>To recall, Nance gave local business owners a <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/cavs/2020/12/cleveland-cavaliers-larry-nance-jr-announces-initiative-to-help-struggling-local-businesses.html">helping hand</a> with free promotion at each game. The 6-foot-7 forward was a rarity for the Cavs as he genuinely cherished being able to play in Cleveland. It’s a no-brainer, though, since Nance was born and raised in the city.</p><p>His trade to the Blazers was a <a href="https://cavsnation.com/cavs-news-larry-nance-jr-sends-heartfelt-message-to-cleveland-after-trade-to-blazers/">tough pill to swallow</a> for Cavs fans and Nance, but the latter, as well as the franchise, decided that their timelines are already different. At this stage of his career, Nance should already be helping contenders instead of babysitting a helluva young team. The separation didn’t develop any ill feelings, as evidenced by the reception in the video above.</p><p>As warm and fuzzy as the reunion was for Nance, his former teammates left all of the pleasantries when it came to the court. The Cavs controlled the game for the most part and weathered a late rally by the Blazers to earn the home win, 107-104.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
