Nance closed with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 94-87 win over Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
Nance moved back into the rotation, appearing for just the second time in the past 25 games. After starting the season with a relatively consistent role off the bench, injuries and lack of production have resulted in him being used only on rare occasions. Despite a proven per-minute upside, Nance holds no real value in fantasy leagues, given his lack of playing time.

Nance played the final 4:58 of Wednesday's 133-107 win over the 76ers, finishing with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound.
EDGE Analysis
The appearance was Nance's first since he was cleared to play last Thursday following an 18-game absence due to a right calf strain. Prior to getting hurt, Nance had been averaging 15.1 minutes per game over his 16 appearances on the season, but he looks as though he'll find himself outside of head coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation now that he's healthy again.

Nance (calf) is available to play Thursday versus the Timberwolves, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance will be available for the first time since Nov. 28, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll play. He's going to be eased back into things after a lengthy layoff, so for now, Nance can safely remain on the waiver wire.

Nance (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Nance hasn't played since Nov. 28 due to a right calf strain, and the Cavaliers have yet to provide an update on his progress. The veteran big man should be considered week-to-week until Cleveland offers an update on his recovery.

Nance is out for Wednesday's game against the Suns due to a strained right calf.
EDGE Analysis
The Cavaliers announced at the end of November that Nance could miss as long as four weeks, so it's possible they'll update his return timeline at some point soon. Until that happens, the veteran big man can be considered week-to-week.

An MRI revealed a Grade 1 soleus strain in Nance's right calf, and he is expected to miss the next 3-to-4 weeks of action.
EDGE Analysis
Jarrett Allen (finger) is also going to miss at least the next week, leaving Cleveland thin at the center spot. Evan Mobley will likely spend more time at the five, which should open up some more minutes for Nae'Qwan Tomlin, Dean Wade and Jaylon Tyson.
