In Atlanta, it has been reported that Hawks forward Larry Nance Jr. will be undergoing surgery to address a broken bone in his right hand.
Nance sustained the injury during a game on Saturday, where the Hawks secured a win against the Miami Heat.
Following the incident, the team confirmed through medical imaging that he has a fractured fourth metacarpal in his right hand. A surgical procedure is set to take place on Thursday to treat the injury.
As of now, the timeline for Nance’s return to the court remains uncertain and will likely be evaluated after the surgery has been completed.
The 31-year-old player has been an important asset for the Hawks this season, contributing significantly from the bench since his acquisition in a major trade with the New Orleans Pelicans last summer.
Nance is currently posting averages of 9.5 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, showcasing his value to the team’s performance.
