Larry Nance Jr. (right MCL sprain) out for Cavaliers 2-4 weeks

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Larry Nance Jr. is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a right MCL sprain.

What It Means:

The lottery-destined Cavaliers will likely take a conservative approach with Nance Jr.'s return, so the back end of that timetable is a more probable outcome. Tristan Thompson, Channing Frye, and Ante Zizic should all see more time in the frontcourt while Nance Jr. is out.

Nance Jr. is averaging 27.8 FanDuel points through 39 games (17 starts) this season, with 8.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.7 blocks per contest.
