The injury bug has not been kind to the Los Angeles Lakers so far in the 2016-2017 NBA season, with several key players missing multiple games. Unfortunately, those injury woes continue as Larry Nance Jr. recently suffered a bone bruise in a game against the Charlotte Hornets.
The injury is not as bad as it was initially feared, and the high-flying Nance is expected to miss about four weeks in order to heal. However, Nance spoke prior to Tuesday night’s home game against the Utah Jazz, and sounded optimistic about returning before the four-week projection (via Lakers Nation’s Serena Winters):
“Some people have had it and gotten back in two days, like I had a bone bruise in my knee earlier this season and I missed one game maybe, or two.
