Cavs: Larry Nance Jr. should keep playing starter’s minutes for foreseeable future

As we’ve touched on here at KJG a number of times, Larry Nance Jr. was a bright spot in a rough season overall for the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2018-19, in which the team ended up having a 19-63 (per NBA.com).

It was unfortunate that Cleveland’s best player, Kevin Love, was only active in 22 games (per Basketball Reference), mostly due to reported toe surgery, and Tristan Thompson, a quality big in his own right for Cleveland, was only active in 43 games, mostly due to a reported foot injury.

That being the case opened the door more open for Nance to receive additional minutes, though, and he ended up playing the most of any in his career in the NBA at 1,795 in total and 26.
