Cavaliers' most underrated offseason move is already paying dividends Larry Nance Jr. has been doing all the little things.
NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • KINGJAMESGOSPEL.COM
Starting vs. Atlanta Nance will start in Sunday's game against the Hawks.
Impact The veteran big man will get the starting nod over Dean Wade with Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined for a second consecutive game. Over six regular-season appearances, Nance has averaged 4.5 points and 3.7 rebounds while shooting 36.7 percent from the field in 16.0 minutes per contest.

Sees limited run Nance closed with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 12 minutes during Sunday's 118-113 victory over the Bucks.
Impact Nance has been highly effective in limited run through three games for the Cavaliers. He's averaging 8.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.7 steals in 14.9 minutes through three regular-season contests, proving that he still has plenty left in the tank. His low workload makes him difficult to trust, but if the Cavaliers are ever shorthanded, Nance would be an appealing streamer.

Back to bench in preseason finale Nance is coming off the bench in Tuesday's preseason finale against Detroit.
Impact Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley will take over their usual duties in the frontcourt for Tuesday's final tune-up. Nance is set to open the new season as Allen's top backup at center, and the former's streaming appeal will likely be limited in that role.

OCTOBER 14, 2025 • Associated Press
Nearly double-doubles Nance posted 11 points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and three steals across 23 minutes of Sunday's 138-107 preseason loss to Boston.
Impact Nance drew the start Sunday with the Cavaliers sitting their key players, and that included Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Nance was a key free agent acquisition for the team and projects to be the first big off the bench, and it helps that he can fill in at the four and five in the frontcourt.
OCTOBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Starting preseason game Nance is part of the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason game against the Celtics.
Impact With several anticipated starters seemingly resting, Nance will draw a start Sunday. Craig Porter, Tyrese Proctor, Jaylon Tyson and Dean Wade make up the rest of the first unit.
