CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Two days before opening the regular season, the Cleveland Cavaliers accomplished one of their primary goals, keeping Larry Nance Jr. in Cleveland for the long haul.
The two sides agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $44.8 million shortly before the 6 p.m. deadline on Monday night.
"We are extremely excited to have Larry in a Cavaliers uniform long-term," general manager Koby Altman said in a press release. "His athleticism is off the charts and his positive attitude, work ethic and most importantly, his desire to be in Cleveland embodies all that we want out of our players both on and off the court.
