As far as family reunions go, this is a fun one.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have reunited with Larry Nance Jr. on a one-year free agent contract, per ESPN.
Nance Jr. has played for the Cavs before, but he's just as well known in Cleveland because his father Larry Sr. was a long-time Cleveland star.
Nance Jr. is 32 years old now, and he averaged 8.5 points and 4.3 rebounds per game for Atlanta in 2024-25. He missed the tail end of the season with a fracture in his right knee.
The big fella will get to serve as a backup for Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen on the Cleveland interior.

Nance Jr. has played for the Lakers, Pelicans, Trail Blazers, Hawks and Cavs.
He attended Revere High School in Richfield, Ohio. His Cavs seasons spanned from 2017-2021. In those four Cleveland years, Nance Jr. averaged 9.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

Larry Sr. played seven years for the Cavaliers in the late-80s and early-90s. He was a stud, putting up 16.8 points and 18.2 rebounds per game in that span.
The Cavs know they won't quite get father's production in this second go-round with Nance Jr., but he's an experienced NBA big man who should be the ideal lob threat as a backup to Cleveland's established frontcourt.
