Larry Nance Jr. is going to play on this home stand, maybe even as early as tomorrow. He was fired up about it.
“This is a team that is playing for something,” Nance said. nola.com/sports/pelican… – 4:41 PM

Larry Nance Jr. on atmosphere around #Pelicans: “This is a great locker room. Griff, Trajan and those guys have done an unbelievable job of getting great people first. We see what they can do on the court, but each and every one of them is a great person in their own right.” – 3:45 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Larry Nance Jr. joking about keeping expectations reasonable for when he makes his #Pelicans debut: “I feel great, but obviously there is going to be some rust to shake off. I’ve been out for a little bit. I don’t expect to be like the 40th player this month to drop 50 (points).” – 3:17 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Larry Nance Jr. on a step he needs to happen to get fully comfortable in Josh Hart’s old home (the former teammates swapped places in NOLA/Portland): “It’s getting cozy. He’s still got to get all of his crap out. He still has all of his Villanova stuff I can’t stand to look at.” – 3:14 PM

Here’s Part 2 of my talk with @John Hollinger where we get into:
— Zion Williamson (great timing!)
— How does Jose Alvarado’s emergence affect Devonte’ Graham/Kira Lewis?
— Where do Jaxson Hayes and Larry Nance Jr fit once Zion comes back?

What’s it like getting traded for one of your best friends?
Larry Nance and Josh Hart found out the hard way.
So they swapped houses.
