Cavaliers’ team defense will suffer even more without Larry Nance Jr.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been a disaster on defense most of the season, and it’s not going to get better with the injury bug hitting them yet again.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are the NBA’s worst defensive team, as they have the worst defensive rating, and concede the highest opponent field goal percentage in the league, per NBA.com. They have been bombarded by injuries this year, but are not stocked with really good individual defenders, anyhow. Now, though, the Cavs’ defense will suffer even more in the coming weeks with Larry Nance Jr. potentially out for “two weeks” due to an MRI revealing a sprained MCL, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
