Good news for Lakers’ Larry Nance Jr.: MRI shows only sprain, no fracture in hand

This is great news for the Lakers and young forward Larry Nance Jr.

An MRI Friday on his injured right hand showed only a sprain, no fracture as the Lakers had said was probable.

Nance averaged 5.5 points and 5 rebounds a game for the Lakers last season, showing promise as a rookie forward. At Summer League he averaged 8 points and 7 boards a game, shooting just 44.4 percent.

No physical break means not much time off from training and working on his game this summer, which is a good thing for a young player. Plus, no surgery, which is a great thing.
