Nance will start in Sunday's game against the Hawks.
The veteran big man will get the starting nod over Dean Wade with Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined for a second consecutive game. Over six regular-season appearances, Nance has averaged 4.5 points and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 36.7 percent from the field in 16.0 minutes per contest.

Cavaliers' Larry Nance: Sees limited run
Rotowire
Nance closed with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 12 minutes during Sunday's 118-113 victory over the Bucks.
Nance has been highly effective in limited run through three games for the Cavaliers. He's averaging 8.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals in 14.9 minutes through three regular-season contests, proving that he still has plenty left in the tank. His low workload makes him difficult to trust, but if the Cavaliers are ever shorthanded, Nance would be an appealing streamer.

Cavaliers' Larry Nance: Back to bench in preseason finale
Rotowire
Nance is coming off the bench in Tuesday's preseason finale against Detroit.
Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley will take over their usual duties in the frontcourt for Tuesday's final tune-up. Nance is set to open the new season as Allen's top backup at center, and the former's streaming appeal will likely be limited in that role.

Cavaliers' Larry Nance: Nearly double-doubles
Rotowire
Nance posted 11 points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and three steals across 23 minutes of Sunday's 138-107 preseason loss to Boston.
Nance drew the start Sunday with the Cavaliers sitting their key players, and that included Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Nance was a key free agent acquisition for the team and projects to be the first big off the bench, and it helps that he can fill in at the four and five in the frontcourt.
Cavaliers' Larry Nance: Inking deal with Cleveland
Rotowire
Nance (knee) is signing a one-year veteran minimum contract with the Cavaliers, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Nance is set to embark on his second tenure with the Cavaliers, as he spent parts of four seasons in Cleveland earlier in his career. The veteran big man will likely serve as Jarrett Allen's top backup at center, also supplying the Cavs with frontcourt depth at power forward behind Evan Mobley. Nance was fairly effective when healthy in a reserve capacity for the Hawks during 2024-25, closing with averages of 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 19.3 minutes across 24 regular-season games.
The Hawks announced Wednesday that Nance (knee) will miss the rest of the season while recovering from a right medial femoral condyle fracture.
Nance has officially been ruled out for the rest of the 2024-25 campaign due to his knee injury. The veteran big man played in only 24 games for the Hawks, averaging 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 51.6 percent from the floor and a career-high 44.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Hawks' Larry Nance: To be re-evaluated in six weeks
Rotowire
Nance (knee) will have a non-displaced fracture in his right knee re-evaluated in six weeks.
After suffering a right knee injury in Tuesday's win against the Magic, Nance will miss a considerable amount of time with a non-displaced fracture. The veteran forward's injury will be re-evaluated in six weeks, and it could eventually result in him being ruled out for the season. The 31-year-old is averaging 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game for the Hawks while shooting a career-high 44.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Hawks' Larry Nance: Won't return Monday
Rotowire
Nance has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game versus Orlando due to a right knee injury.
Nance logged eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes before exiting with 8:01 remaining in the fourth quarter after suffering the injury. His availability for Wednesday's game against the Knicks looks to be uncertain, potentially paving the way for the Hawks to reintegrate Clint Capela -- who was a healthy inactive Monday -- into the rotation as the backup to Onyeka Okongwu. If Nance is unavailable and if Capela remains inactive Wednesday, Dominick Barlow would presumably step in as Okongwu's primary understudy.

Rotowire
Nance exited in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Magic after sustaining an apparent right leg injury, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Nance required assistance off the court after checking out of the contest with 8:01 remaining in the fourth quarter. In the likely event that the veteran big man is unable to return, he'll finish the game with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes.

Hawks' Larry Nance: Provides spark off bench in win
Rotowire
Nance posted 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 22 minutes during Saturday's 125-111 victory over the Wizards.
It was Nance's highest-scoring output since the Dec. 19 loss to the Spurs. The veteran big man is still working his way back from December right hand surgery, as he's shooting only 38.2 percent from the field over his last eight games. Nance is averaging 6.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.1 minutes during that period.
Nance ended with 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Monday's 132-130 win over the Pistons.
Nance recorded his third double-double of the campaign in the win. He's been quiet in previous outings, but he's a name to monitor in deeper formats in case he can take advantage of his newfound minutes with Jalen Johnson (shoulder) out for the season and Clint Capela rumored to be on the trade block.

Hawks' Larry Nance: Cleared for Tuesday
Rotowire
Nance (hand) is available for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.
Nance missed the first leg of Atlanta's back-to-back set in Monday's loss to the Timberwolves, though he sat out for maintenance-related reasons. He returned from a 12-game absence due to right hand surgery in Saturday's loss to the Raptors, finishing with four points, four rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes. Nance started at power forward in that contest, but both Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) and De'Andre Hunter (illness) sat out that game. Risacher and Hunter returned to action Monday and aren't on the injury report for Tuesday, so Nance could find himself outside of the rotation.
