Hawks F Larry Nance Jr. to have surgery for broken bone in right hand

Atlanta Hawks forward Larry Nance Jr. will undergo surgery for a broken bone in his right hand

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • Associated Press

Will undergo surgery on hand The Hawks announced Monday that Nance will undergo surgery on Thursday after imaging confirmed a fractured fourth metacarpal bone in his right hand.

Impact A timetable has yet to be provided, but there will likely be an update following the procedure. With that said, fantasy managers should brace for a multi-week absence. Nance had a terrific stretch to end December, so this is a big blow for Atlanta. Fortunately for the franchise, Onyeka Okongwu returned from his knee injury on Sunday.

Won't play Sunday Nance (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Nance sustained the right hand injury in Saturday's win over Miami, during which he played through the issue and produced 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two steals and one assist in 27 minutes. Further specifics on a treatment plan will be shared once available, and while there is no clear timetable for his return, the veteran big man's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against Denver.

Suffers hand injury Saturday Nance sustained a right hand injury in Saturday's 120-110 victory over the Heat. He finished with 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 27...

Impact It's unclear when Nance suffered the injury, but there aren't additional details outside of the fact that he suffered a problem in his right hand. The Hawks' next game will come against the Heat on Saturday, but given that Nance doesn't have a timetable to return, he's expected to miss at least a few games at a bare minimum.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

First double-double of season Nance supplied 21 points (8-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 133-126 overtime loss to the Spurs.

Impact The journeyman big didn't even get onto the court in either of the prior two games, but Nance was ready to step back into the frontcourt rotation with Onyeka Okongwu (knee) sidelined by a knee issue. Nance led the Hawks in rebounding on the night while playing a season high in minutes and producing his first double-double of 2024-25. Okongwu is expected to at least three more games, putting Nance firmly on the fantasy radar potentially through to the end of the month.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to bench Wednesday Nance will come off the bench Wednesday versus New York.

Impact Nance sliding to the second unit corresponds with Jalen Johnson (shoulder) returning to health for Atlanta. Nance is averaging 7.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.6 minutes across his last five contests off the bench.

DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Solid outing in loss Sunday Nance amassed 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 24 minutes during Sunday's 141-111 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Prior to Sunday's matchup, the veteran big man hadn't seen the court since Nov. 17, though he stepped into the starting five in place of Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and played valuable minutes. Nance was efficient while delivering a solid performance, though it remains to be seen if he'll stick in the rotation when Johnson returns. In 10 regular-season appearances, Nance has averaged 8.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals across 16.5 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Nance will start Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Nance hasn't played since Nov. 17, but he'll slide into the starting lineup due to Jalen Johnson's (shoulder) absence. In his only start this season (Nov. 1 against the Kings), Nance posted two points and three rebounds in eight minutes.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strong production Tuesday Nance contributed 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 117-116 win over the Celtics.

Impact Nance tallied a season-high 19 points in the win, demonstrating what he can do when afforded significant playing time. While this was certainly an encouraging performance, it should be noted that he had played fewer than 15 minutes in six of the previous seven games. He is someone to monitor should he step into a consistent role but for now, this is possibly an outlier.

NOVEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays well off bench Nance supplied 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal across 25 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Despite moving back to the bench, Nance supplied a versatile fantasy line in limited action. However, with Onyeka Okongwu (toe/rest) expected back Monday, Nance isn't guaranteed to see much action against the Celtics.

Back to bench Nance won't start Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact With Dyson Daniels back in action, Nance will shift to his usual reserve role. In two appearances off the bench this season, Nance has averaged 8.5 points, 2.0 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 15.0 minutes, but the majority of that production came in one game.

NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Making first start of season Nance will start Friday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Nance will make his first start of the season and will be joined by Trae Young, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson and Clint Capela. He played 23 minutes against the Wizards on Monday, posting 15 points (6-9 FG), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Productive off bench Nance accumulated 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Onyeka Okongwu was rested, and the Hawks were shorthanded elsewhere as well. Nance has a history of being productive in category leagues when the minutes are there, and Monday night was no different. He wasn't in the rotation in the opening three games of the season, however, but he did make a case to the coaching staff that he'll be ready when his name is called.

Good to go Nance (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Nance rested during the Hawks' preseason finale but is cleared to play during the regular season. The veteran will be a key depth piece for Atlanta's frontcourt this season after being traded to the Hawks in the deal that sent Dejounte Murray (personal) to New Orleans.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rested for preseason finale Nance (rest) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact The Hawks are resting several players for the preseason finale, and Nance is among several frontcourt players who won't see action here. The veteran is expected to open the 2024-25 season as Jalen Johnson's backup at the power forward position.
