HOUSTON -- Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. is expected to miss approximately 2-4 weeks with a sprained right MCL.
Nance was injured in the first quarter of Tuesday's loss against the Indiana Pacers and an MRI conducted Thursday confirmed the severity of the knee injury.
Nance made the trip to New Orleans with the team -- the start of a six-game roadie that concludes on Jan. 19 -- but did not play in Wednesday's matchup.
Without crutches, Nance hobbled out of the visitor's locker room late Wednesday night. He told cleveland.com that it was a worrisome non-contact injury to the same knee that had been surgically repaired while in college.
