For the past few weeks, Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. has been in and out of the lineup due to a wrist injury. On Saturday night, Nance suffered another injury in the team’s 124-99 loss to Milwaukee Bucks that will keep him out for some time.
The eight-year veteran is expected to miss approximately six weeks after sustaining a fracture in his left fourth metacarpal(finger), the team announced today.
According to the Cavs, Nance was examined last night at the arena, and imaging performed this morning at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health confirmed the injury. Nance will now undergo a series of treatment and rehabilitation activities, and his status will be updated as appropriate.
This is a big blow for Cavs. Nance is averaging 9.3 points and 6.8 rebounds a game this season and is also second in the league in steals at 1.9 steals per game. The Cavaliers, who are on a three-game losing streak, are about to embark on a five-game west coast road trip, which starts on Monday against the Suns.
