Nance was diagnosed with a fractured finger on his left hand following Saturday's 124-99 loss to the Bucks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. He'll likely need surgery to address the injury, and he's expected to miss approximately six weeks.
Nance returned to the starting lineup Saturday after missing the previous three games with a sprained right wrist, but he ended up hurting his opposite arm in the blowout loss to Milwaukee. He played 23 minutes in the loss, finishing with four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist. Based on the timeline provided by Wojnarowski, Nance looks like he'll be sidelined until after the All-Star break, and since Kevin Love (calf) is on track to return before him, Nance may have to settle for a reserve role once he's cleared to play again. Love is expected to remain sidelined through the Cavs' five-game road trip that begins Monday, however, so look for Taurean Prince and Cedi Osman to handle nearly all the minutes at power forward in the short term.
