Nance (personal) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
A personal matter kept Nance out of Monday's loss in Detroit, but his absence from the report implies that he's rejoined the team and will be available Wednesday night. In three games since returning from an illness that cost him seven contests, Nance averaged only 5.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.3 steals in 23.7 minutes.

Nance (personal) is listed as out for Monday's game against Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
A personal matter will keep Nance out as the Cavs finish up a quick, two-game road trip. Dean Wade and Isaiah Hartenstein could pick up increased minutes in Nance's absence.

Nance posted five points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four steals, two rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old returned to the court Wednesday after missing the previous eight games due to an illness. Nance was averaging 11.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 three-pointers over his previous 10 games before going down with an illness. The sixth-year forward should provide solid production in rebounds, steals and field-goal percentage the rest of the way, though his scoring may be sporadic now that Kevin Love is healthy for the Cavaliers.

Nance (illness) is expected to be available Wednesday against the Hornets, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old hasn't seen the court since March 27 due to an illness, and he's poised to retake the court Wednesday at Charlotte. Nance started the previous eight games before the absence, but he should work off the bench now that Kevin Love is healthy for the Cavaliers.

Nance (illness) went through practice Tuesday but remains questionable for Wednesday's game in Charlotte, Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance had been battling an illness for the better part of the last two weeks, but his return to practice is a major step in the right direction. Coach JB Bickerstaff stopped short of clearing Nance to play Wednesday, however, so the Cavs will likely wait to see how his body feels following Tuesday's session. With Kevin Love back in action, Nance figures to primarily work off the bench once he's cleared to play.

Nance (illness) has returned to basketball-related activities and could play Wednesday against the Hornets, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reprots.
EDGE Analysis
Nance has been dealing with a tough illness that's caused rapid weight loss, but he's on the verge of a return. Once he's back, he could join the starting five. However, that could also depend on the status of Jarrett Allen (concussion).

Nance (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Nance has been dealing with a non-COVID-19 illness that has reportedly caused him to sustain "rapid weight loss" over the last week. With Jarrett Allen (concussion) also unavailable Saturday, Kevin Love and Dean Wade should start for Cleveland against the Raptors.

Nance (illness) will not play in Thursday's game against the Thunder, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance did not make the trip to Oklahoma City with the team, as he remains home while battling an undisclosed, non-COVID-19 illness. Fedor reports that Nance has sustained "rapid weight loss" over the last week, but the Cavs have indicated that he's moving in the right direction. Given the circumstances, it wouldn't be a surprise if Nance ends up missing a few more games while working his way back into basketball shape.

Nance (illness) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Evan Dammarell of SB Nation reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance's illness is not COVID-19-related, but he's already missed the last four games and appears on course to miss a fifth Thursday at Oklahoma City. With Jarrett Allen's (concussion) status also in doubt, the Cavs will likely continue to start Kevin Love and Dean Wade up front.

Nance (illness) will not play Monday against San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Nance is not on the COVID-19 list, but he's apparently battling a rather severe illness, as this will be his fourth straight absence. The Cavs will also be without Jarrett Allen (concussion), so expect Dean Wade and Kevin Love to do much of the heavy lifting up front.
