Nance Returns to Practice, Targets Monday's Game for Return
Larry Nance Jr. practices at the UCLA Health Training Center on Nov. 25, 2017.As he expected, Larry Nance Jr. beat his timetable for his return from a fractured left hand.
After suffering his injury against Portland on Nov. 3, Nance underwent surgery and was told he would need 4-6 weeks before playing his next game.
“Once they said 4-6 weeks, that wasn’t my plan,” Nance said.
Nance — who was “pulling and begging” for a 2 1/2-week recovery period — is ahead of schedule, as he was a full participant in Saturday’s practice and is expected to return for Monday’s game against the LA Clippers.
