Larry Nance Jr. to make season debut in home opener on Sunday night

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Larry Nance Jr. will make his season debut for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night in the home opener.

Nance, who has missed the first two regular games against Toronto and Minnesota as well as the preseason finale because of a sprained ankle, will come off the bench and be on a minutes restriction.

Tristan Thompson will once again get the start at center.

The Cavaliers host the Atlanta Hawks, one of four Eastern Conference teams without a win this season.
