Cavaliers big man Larry Nance Jr. has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 right soleus (calf) strain and will miss about three-to-four weeks, the team announced on Sunday (via Twitter).
Nance injured his right calf in Friday’s loss at Atlanta and underwent an MRI on Saturday, which revealed the soleus strain, according to the Cavaliers.
Cleveland also provided injury updates on starting center Jarrett Allen, who will miss at least a week with a right finger strain, and sharpshooter Sam Merrill who has missed the past five games with a right hand sprain. Merrill remains out and is considered day-to-day, per the team.
