When a big-time trade happens in the world of sports, the first thoughts surround the players involved in the deal. After all, they’ll be swapping teams, home cities, locker rooms and sometimes even countries. That said, trades don’t just affect the players involved, but also the lives of their loved ones. Entire families can be shifted by offseason or midseason moves, which can be hard to maneuver with school-aged children, pets and the careers of significant others.
Those particular sentiments rang true in the case of former Pelicans big man Larry Nance Jr. . That’s because Nance was traded earlier on Friday to the Atlanta Hawks as part of a package deal for Dejounte Murray. As a result, Nance and his teammate Dyson Daniels are heading to Atlanta before the start of the 2024-25 campaign.
As such, the deal disrupted his kids’ bedtime, according to his wife, Hailey, who put out a hilarious and all too relatable post on X (formerly known as Twitter) moments after her husband got the news.
