Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. had an undetermined illness that caused him to lose almost 20 pounds, according to Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor.
"Thursday will be Nance's fifth straight absence and despite finally turning the corner on Wednesday and being 'on the mend,' as one source said, Nance probably won't play in the weekend back-to-back at home, with the training staff wanting him to regain some of the lost weight and stamina first," Fedor wrote.
