Nance agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with the Pacers on Wednesday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Nance is joining Indiana to help fortify its frontcourt depth. The journeyman center is set to compete with Micah Potter and Jay Huff for reserve minutes behind Ivica Zubac, though Nance's impact may be felt more as a veteran presence than as a fantasy contributor in 2026-27. He averaged a career-low 3.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.2 blocks in 12.8 minutes per game over 35 regular-season appearances for Cleveland last year.

Rotowire
Nance will start Sunday versus the Wizards, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Joining Nance in the first unit for Sunday's game will be Craig Porter, Max Strus, Jaylon Tyson and Nae'Qwan Tomlin.

Rotowire
Nance is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic due to an illness.

Cavaliers' Larry Nance: Rare sighting Monday
Rotowire
Nance chipped in no counting stats across four minutes during Monday's 115-101 victory over the 76ers.
Nance played for just the second time in the past nine games, continuing what has been an uneventful season. Despite his fantasy-friendly game, Nance simply hasn't been a factor on most nights, averaging 3.2 points and 2.5 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game, seeing the floor on just 28 occasions.

Cavaliers' Larry Nance: Back in rotation Wednesday
Rotowire
Nance closed with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 94-87 win over Charlotte.
Nance moved back into the rotation, appearing for just the second time in the past 25 games. After starting the season with a relatively consistent role off the bench, injuries and lack of production have resulted in him being used only on rare occasions. Despite a proven per-minute upside, Nance holds no real value in fantasy leagues, given his lack of playing time.

Rotowire
Nance played the final 4:58 of Wednesday's 133-107 win over the 76ers, finishing with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound.
The appearance was Nance's first since he was cleared to play last Thursday following an 18-game absence due to a right calf strain. Prior to getting hurt, Nance had been averaging 15.1 minutes per game over his 16 appearances on the season, but he looks as though he'll find himself outside of head coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation now that he's healthy again.
