Trail Blazers newcomer Larry Nance Jr. has not been to the postseason since the Cavaliers’ run to the NBA Finals in 2018. Now in Portland, Nance Jr. is excited to play a role on a postseason-ready squad. On Tuesday, Trail Blazers digital reporter Casey Holdahl spoke with the former Cavs forward about the road ahead.
Nance Jr. explained to Holdahl that Cleveland will always hold a place in his heart, but he has rooted for Damian Lillard and the Blazers well a trade placed him in Portland.
So look, leaving Cleveland was obviously very bittersweet for me.
