Larry Nance Jr. Fantasy Stats

Free-agent forward/center Larry Nance Jr. agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with the Indiana Pacers, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The 33-year-old spent last season with Cleveland, averaging 3.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assists while playing a limited role. Nance gives Indiana another veteran frontcourt piece who can rebound, pass, and defend multiple spots, but his fantasy ceiling remains low without a clear path to steady minutes. He would need injuries or a larger-than-expected bench role to become more than a situational fantasy option.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's Game 1 against the New York Knicks. Nance was forced to miss Games 6 and 7 of the previous series against the Detroit Pistons due to an illness. There's a chance that Nance misses the beginning of this series as well. He played a total of five minutes during the series against the Toronto Raptors and didn't play at all versus the Pistons. The status of Nance isn't crucial unless Evan Mobley or Jarrett Allen pick up an injury. He won't be a viable DFS option even if he does suit up on Tuesday.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (illness) won't be in action on Sunday night against the Detroit Pistons. He will sit out a second consecutive contest due to illness. Nance Jr. has averaged just 2.5 minutes across two postseason games, so he's simply been a warm body on the bench. His absence won't affect Cleveland's rotation. The starting frontcourt of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley should carry a heavy workload in Sunday's do-or-die matchup.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (illness) is considered doubtful for Game 7 against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. The 33-year-old missed Game 6 due to illness and hasn't yet fully recovered. Even when healthy, the Cavaliers haven't used Nance Jr. in the series, so his absence isn't a major issue for the team. In fact, Nance Jr. has logged just 4:39 across two appearances this postseason. Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley will continue to lead the frontcourt in Sunday's win-or-go-home matchup.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (illness) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Nance will shed the questionable tag and suit up despite dealing with an illness. The veteran forward hasn't been a big part of the rotation lately, but could see a larger role with Dean Wade (ankle) sidelined. This season, Nance is averaging 3.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 0.9 assists across 12.2 minutes per game. Even with a slightly expanded role, Nance isn't worth a look in most fantasy formats ahead of Wednesday's slate.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (calf) will miss 3-4 weeks, the team announced on Sunday. The veteran sustained a Grade 1 soleus strain in Friday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. As a backup, Nance Jr. is averaging 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 15.0 minutes per game this season. With Jarrett Allen (finger) also exiting the lineup on Sunday and ruled out for around a week, Evan Mobley will be in for a busy time in the Cavaliers frontcourt. He led the team in scoring with 27 points and had 14 rebounds in Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Boston Celtics.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (knee) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. A knee problem could keep Nance Jr. out for a second consecutive game. Working as a reserve, Nance Jr. has contributed 4.6 points and 3.7 rebounds in 16.7 minutes this season. If he can't play on Monday, Dean Wade may receive more work in the Cavaliers frontcourt. Although Wade is a versatile player, his efforts typically do not translate well into fantasy basketball.

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's game against the Chicago Bulls. Nance is dealing with a left knee contusion but hasn't missed any time this season yet. The 32-year-old has been averaging around 15 minutes per game off Cleveland's bench with spotty offensive production, averaging just 4.6 PPG. Should he miss tonight's action then expect more minutes from Dean Wade, though Wade is also listed as questionable. If neither can go, Cleveland's bench options of Jaylon Tyson and Sam Merrill should get more run.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have reached a one-year deal with free-agent forward Larry Nance Jr. on Tuesday. After one injury-riddled season in Atlanta, Nance has decided to head back to Cleveland where he played from 2017-2021. Last season, Nance averaged 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists across 19.3 minutes per game in 24 games. At this point in his career, Nance isn't going to play big minutes, but could still contribute with minutes in the teens. He figures to play a primary role off the bench behind Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. It probably won't be a big enough role to warrant rostering in most fantasy leagues right away.

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (knee) will be re-evaluated in six weeks, the team announced. The veteran hurt his right knee against the Orlando Magic on Monday and was diagnosed with a non-displaced fracture of his right medial femoral condyle. Nance Jr. has worked as a backup big behind Onyeka Okongwu, averaging 8.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in 19.5 minutes this month. Okongwu has previously shared the load with Clint Capela. He recently missed time due to back spasms and has not been in the lineup for recent games, even though he is not listed on the injury report. On Wednesday, Hawks head coach Quin Snyder stated that Capela is ramping up, which suggests that the team plans to reintegrate him into the rotation after the All-Star break.
