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.

Nance is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves due to right-hand injury management.
EDGE Analysis
Nance returned from a 12-game absence Saturday and he finds himself on the injury report again as he continues to ease back into play from a right hand injury. Nance could see a substantial role if he is able to suit up due to Jalen Johnson (shoulder) being sidelined.

Nance (hand) scored four points (2-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and added four boards and one assist in 20 minutes during Saturday's 117-94 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Though he has typically served as the Hawks' third-string center behind Onyeka Okongwu and Clint Capela this season, Nance entered the starting five at power forward Saturday while making his return from a 12-game absence due to right hand surgery. While filling in for the injured Jalen Johnson (shoulder), Nance struggled to get much going behind the arc, prompting the Hawks to lean more heavily on Garrison Mathews (25 minutes) and Vit Krejci (35 minutes) rather than handing Nance significant playing time. Johnson is out indefinitely, but the potential return of De'Andre Hunter (illness) -- who sat out Saturday -- in the Hawks' next game Monday in Minnesota could put Nance at risk of moving to the bench.

Nance (hand) is available for Saturday's game versus the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Nance has been upgraded from probable to available Saturday after missing Atlanta's previous 12 outings due to recovering from right hand surgery. The 31-year-old big man is averaging 9.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 21.5 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Nance (hand) went through shootaround ahead of Saturday's game versus the Raptors, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance hasn't played since Dec. 28 after undergoing right hand surgery. However, the 31-year-old big man is deemed probable against Toronto, and all signs indicate he is suiting up Saturday.

Nance (hand) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
After undergoing right hand surgery Jan. 2, Nance appears to be on the verge of returning to Atlanta's lineup sooner than initially anticipated. With the veteran big man likely to play Saturday and Jalen Johnson (shoulder) ruled out, Nance's return would likely eat into the playing time of Dominick Barlow and David Roddy in the Hawks' second unit. That said, Nance could be facing a minutes restriction if he's indeed upgraded to available against Toronto.
