Nance (knee) is signing a one-year veteran minimum contract with the Cavaliers, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Nance (knee) will have a non-displaced fracture in his right knee re-evaluated in six weeks.

EDGE Analysis

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 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.

Nance (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Nance will miss Wednesday's contest after suffering a right knee injury Monday. The 31-year-old big man will have the entire All-Star break to recover before Atlanta returns to action against Orlando on Feb. 20.

Nance (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game versus Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Nance played 19 minutes before leaving the game with a knee injury. Nance's status for Wednesday's game against the Knicks is up in the air, meaning if he and Clint Capela (undisclosed) can't go, Dominick Barlow might get some extended run backing up Onyeka Okongwu.

Nance exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent right leg injury in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Magic, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance required assistance walking off the floor after checking out 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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Nance (hand) is available for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Nance (hand) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance had missed 12 games while recovering from right hand surgery, but he managed to return Saturday against the Raptors and finished with four points, four rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes. He'll be sidelined for Monday's contest, but he could be available for Tuesday's clash against the Rockets. Dominick Barlow and Mouhamed Gueye could see some playing time behind Onyeka Okongwu and Clint Capela due to Nance's absence.
