Listed as questionable

Per Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com, Nance was able to practice Tuesday, but New Orleans continues to monitor his injury. If he's unable to suit up, Willy Hernangomez, Jaxson Hayes and Naji Marshall would be candidates for increased roles behind Herbert Jones and Jonas Valanciunas in the Pelicans' frontcourt.

Won't suit up for Play-In

Alvarado hasn't played since Feb. 27 due to a stress reaction in his right tibia, but it appears he's making solid progress and could be available if the Pelicans secure a spot in the playoffs. However, given his lengthy absence, it may be a stretch to expect Alvarado to play his usual role right away if he can return at some point this season.

Could miss first round of playoffs

Williamson has already been ruled out for the Play-In Tournament, and there's been no indication from the Pelicans that he'd be able to suit up during the first round of the playoffs if the team advances. The 22-year-old recently progressed to low-intensity 3-on-3 scrimmaging, but he's had some trouble translating his conditioning into basketball shape, per Charania. Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said Friday that the "best possible outcome" would be Williamson returning to full practices during the first round of the playoffs, so it seems highly unlikely that the Duke product would be available for game action unless the Pelicans go on a postseason run.
