INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Larry Nance Jr. did not participate in Monday's practice because of a sprained ankle, leaving his status for Wednesday's opener against the Toronto Raptors in doubt.
Head coach Tyronn Lue said he was unsure whether Nance would be able to play.
The Cavs are scheduled to practice early Tuesday morning before leaving for Toronto. They will hold a shootaround hours before Wednesday's matchup against the Raptors. Nance's availability then should provide a better window into whether he will be able to suit up.
After suffering the sprained ankle -- the first of his basketball career -- landing on a teammate while trying to grab a rebound during Thursday's practice, Nance was held out of the preseason finale against the Detroit Pistons on Friday night.
