ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Larry Nance Jr. has signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Pacers.

Nance Jr. logged a career-low 12.8 minutes per game across 35 appearances for the Cavs last season, and his role isn’t expected to expand with the Pacers. He’ll fight for backup minutes in the frontcourt with Jay Huff and Micah Potter, and Nance Jr. isn’t on the fantasy radar in most leagues.

Larry Nance Jr. (illness) is questionable to play against the Knicks on Tuesday.

Nance missed Games 6 and 7 against the Pistons with this illness and could remain out for another game. He played five minutes in the first round against the Raptors but didn’t see the floor at all against Detroit. His status won’t impact the Cavaliers’ rotation for the conference finals.

Larry Nance Jr. (illness) is out for Sunday’s Game 7 against the Pistons.

Nance is inactive for a second consecutive game due to an illness. He has not been a consistent member of the Cavaliers’ rotation, and that was unlikely to change for Sunday’s series decider.

Larry Nance (illness) is doubtful for Sunday’s Game 7 against the Pistons.

A late scratch for Friday’s Game 6 defeat, Nance is on track to miss Game 7 as well. The veteran forward/center has not been in the Cavaliers’ rotation, and that’s unlikely to change on Sunday.

Larry Nance Jr. (illness) is out for Friday’s Game 6 against the Pistons.

A late addition to the Cavaliers’ injury report, Nance is now officially out. His absence does not affect the Cavaliers’ rotation, as he has not been a part of it during the postseason.

Larry Nance Jr. (illness) is questionable for Friday’s Game 6 against the Pistons.

Nance is a late addition to the injury report, which is usually not a good sign for a player’s availability. The veteran forward/center has not been part of the Cavaliers’ rotation this postseason, so his absence would not have an in-game impact.

Craig Porter Jr., Max Strus, Jaylon Tyson, Nae’Qwan Tomlin and Larry Nance Jr. will start Sunday’s game against the Wizards.

The Cavaliers are locked into the No. 4 seed regardless of the outcome of Sunday’s games, so most of their key contributors won’t play. The exception is Strus, and given the time he missed after undergoing offseason foot surgery, managers in active fantasy leagues should not expect to see him on the court for too long. The other four starters should play significant minutes, although Tyson only recently returned from an injury.

Thomas Bryant (calf) will not play on Friday against the Hawks.

Friday’s absence will mark the third straight for Bryant, who continues to battle a calf issue. The Cavs will also be without starting center Jarrett Allen, leaving their frontcourt depth fairly thin. Larry Nance Jr. could see an increase in minutes as a result of the injuries.

Jarrett Allen (knee) won’t play against the Hawks on Friday.

On the heels of a 16-point, eight-rebound performance against the Hawks on Wednesday, Allen won’t take the floor in Friday’s rematch. The veteran forward remains an important piece for Cleveland in the middle, thanks to his ability to impact the interior on both ends of the floor. In his absence, Evan Mobley could see more minutes at center, and perhaps someone such as Larry Nance Jr. could find his way into the rotation.

Jaylon Tyson (toe) and Dean Wade (ankle) are questionable for Wednesday’s matchup with the Hawks.

Both Tyson and Wade have missed significant time, but the pair have a chance to return in Wednesday’s tilt with the Hawks. With Thomas Bryant (calf) ruled out, Larry Nance Jr. could enjoy some additional run if Tyson or Wade end up sitting out again.
