Larry Nance Jr. suffers right knee injury vs. Indiana Pacers, will not return

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. suffered a right knee injury in the first quarter of Friday night's game against the Indiana Pacers and will not return.

Nance, who banged into Pacers forward Thaddeus Young at the 6:51 mark of the first quarter, gingerly walked to the free throw line. He took both freebies before subbing out of the game and limping slowly back to the locker room with trainer Steve Spiro.

Nance becomes the latest player to go down in an injury-filled season.

On Monday, Cavs head coach Larry Drew had to use at least one assistant so the team could have a full 5-on-5 practice.
