Nance registered six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Sunday's 130-91 loss to the Magic.
Nance saw a few extra minutes Sunday with Giannis Antetokounmpo resting, in addition to the lopsided score. If the Bucks continue to slide out of the playoff hunt, Nance is someone who could step into a larger role for Milwaukee.

Bucks' Pete Nance: Drops out of rotation
Rotowire
Nance (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Tuesday's 128-117 win over the Heat.
Nance had appeared in each of the Bucks' previous 16 games, but after logging just five minutes two days earlier in a blowout loss to the Raptors, the third-year big man dropped out of head coach Doc Rivers' rotation entirely Tuesday. The 26-year-old's playing-time outlook probably won't improve in the near future, as the impending return of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) will leave even fewer minutes available in the frontcourt.

Bucks' Pete Nance: Notches 11 points in win
Rotowire
Nance notched 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and one block across 24 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 win over the Thunder.
Myles Turner (calf) was held out for the final game before the All-Star break, but he's considered day-to-day. Jericho Sims saw 20 minutes with the starting group, but Nance was more effective in his 24-minute stint. Nance is trending up in deeper formats and is a player to monitor after the break.

Bucks' Pete Nance: Just short of double-double Tuesday
Rotowire
Nance finished Tuesday's 131-115 victory over the Bulls with 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes off the bench.
The third-year big man set a new season scoring high while falling a couple of boards shy of his first career double-double. Nance has seen a bigger role in the Bucks' frontcourt of late due to injuries, averaging 7.6 points, 4.0 boards, 1.3 threes, 0.9 assists and 0.7 steals in 17.7 minutes a contest over the last seven games. If the Bucks end up trading Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) ahead of the deadline, Nance could maintain or even increase that workload as the season progresses.

Bucks' Pete Nance: Gaining foothold in rotation
Rotowire
Nance logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes Wednesday in the Bucks' 122-102 loss to the Thunder.
One of Milwaukee's two-way players, Nance has seen the majority of his playing time in the G League this season, but he seems to be building a case for a regular spot in the NBA rotation. After head coach Doc Rivers surprisingly turned to Nance for a 15-minute appearance in a two-point win over the Hawks on Monday, the 25-year-old big man doubled up his minutes count Wednesday while Myles Turner (ankle) was sidelined. Though he'll see a reduction in playing time if Turner is back for Friday's contest against the Nuggets, Nance likely did enough in the loss to the Thunder to maintain his spot on the second unit for at least one more game.

Bucks' Pete Nance: Paces Milwaukee in preseason win
Rotowire
Nance notched 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 17 minutes in Monday's 103-93 preseason win over the Heat.
Nance led the Bucks in scoring and three-pointers during an efficient performance. The two-way player bounced around in the 2024-25 campaign, appearing in 13 regular-season games (one start) between the Bucks and 76ers. He also played in 21 G League outings between the Wisconsin Herd, Cleveland Charge and Delaware Blue Coats, averaging 14.2 points, 6.3 assists, 2.8 assists and 1.3 blocks across 30.7 minutes per game. He's expected to spend most of his time with the Herd in the 2025-26 campaign.

Bucks' Pete Nance: Plays in garbage time
Rotowire
Nance scored two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in seven minutes in Thursday's 118-89 win over the Lakers.
Nance recorded his first points with the Bucks in their blowout win Monday. The 25-year-old signed a two-way deal on February 27 but has appeared in just two games that featured minimal playing time. The team's depth at center is currently shallow due to Bobby Portis being suspended and Jericho Sims (thumb) out for the regular season, but coach Doc Rivers has employed Giannis Antetokounmpo at the five instead of giving minutes to Nance.

76ers' Pete Nance: Gets two-way pact with Philadelphia
Rotowire
Nance agreed to a two-way contract with the 76ers on Monday, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
While Nance will most likely spend the majority of the season in the G League with the Delaware Blue Coats, he's expected to suit up regularly for Philadelphia in the short term while Joel Embiid (knee) and Andre Drummond (ankle) are sidelined with injuries. The 24-year-old big man had appeared in eight G League games for the Cleveland Charge thus far during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 18.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.0 steals across 34.5 minutes per game. He'll likely slot in third on the depth chart at center behind Guerschon Yabusele and Adem Bona until Embiid and Drummond return to action.

Cavaliers' Pete Nance: Inks pact with Cleveland
Rotowire
The Cavaliers signed Nance to an Exhibit 10 deal Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Nance will join the Cavaliers for training camp but will likely end up with the club's G League affiliate, the Cleveland Charge. The 24-year-old was signed to a two-way contract with the Cavs last season, during which he averaged 13.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals across 34.2 minutes per game in 26 regular-season appearances with the Charge. However, the Cavs have no remaining two-way spots, and Nance should be considered a long shot to make the roster.

Cavaliers' Pete Nance: Inks two-way deal with Cleveland
Rotowire
Nance signed a two-way contract with the Cavaliers on Monday.
After getting cut by the Cavaliers in the preseason, Nance stuck in the organization with the G League's Cleveland Charge before landing a 10-day contract from the Cavaliers in January. He appeared in two NBA games during that 10-day stretch, but totaled only four minutes. Even though he's now one of Cleveland's three two-way players, Nance will likely continue to spend most of his time with the Charge, with whom he's averaging 13.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 blocks in 31.5 minutes per game over 29 appearances this season.

Pete Nance: Deal with Cleveland expires
Rotowire
Nance's 10-day contract with the Cavaliers expired Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
The Cavaliers could look to bring Nance back on a second 10-day deal before the team plays its next game Monday versus the Clippers, but at least for the time being, the undrafted rookie big man is no longer part of the 15-man roster. Nance made two appearances during his week-and-a-half-long stint on the Cleveland roster, logging just four minutes in total. The Cavaliers retain his G League rights, so even if he isn't re-signed to the NBA roster, Nance will report to the Cleveland Charge.
