Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. suffered a finger fracture on his left hand during Cavs’ loss to Milwaukee Bucks Saturday and he is expected to miss between 4 and 6 weeks of action, as reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The player will likely undergo surgery to treat his injury according to the report.

Nance has averaged 9.3 points and 6.8 rebounds across 33 minutes per game this season and currently ranks second in steals in the NBA with an average of 1.9 per contest. His injury adds up to the short-staffed Cavs’ frontcourt, as Kevin Love remains out with a leg injury.
