Will miss 3-4 weeks
An MRI revealed a Grade 1 soleus strain in Nance's right calf, and he is expected to miss the next 3-to-4 weeks of action.
Analysis
Jarrett Allen (finger) is also going to miss at least the next week, leaving Cleveland thin at the center spot. Evan Mobley will likely spend more time at the five, which should open up some more minutes for Nae'Qwan Tomlin, Dean Wade and Jaylon Tyson.

Out Sunday
Nance (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis
Nance will miss the first leg of the team's back-to-back set due to a right calf strain, and his next chance to play will come Monday against the Pacers. With Jarrett Allen (finger) also ruled out, Thomas Bryant, Dean Wade and Nae'Qwan Tomlin are candidates for increased playing time.

Enters first unit
Nance is starting in Monday's game against the Raptors, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Analysis
The Cavaliers are without De'Andre Hunter (rest) on Monday, enabling Nance to draw his second start of the season. Nance has averaged just 3.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 15.1 minutes per contest over 14 games this season, but his minutes should enter the 20s against Toronto.
