Report: Cleveland Cavaliers Bringing Back Akron Native Forward Larry Nance Jr. via Free Agency

On July 1, 2025, the Cleveland Cavaliers agreed to bring back Akron native forward Larry Nance Jr. for a second stint with the team.
Nance's return follows a 2024-25 season with the Atlanta Hawks where injuries limited him to 24 games, although he remained an effective contributor.
Nance originally played for the Cavaliers from 2018 to 2021, helping them reach the 2018 NBA Finals before being traded in a three-team deal that brought Lauri Markkanen to Cleveland.
During the 2024-25 season, Nance posted an average of 8.5 points per game while shooting efficiently, converting just over half of his overall field goal attempts and hitting nearly 45% of his shots from beyond the arc, marking a notable advancement in his perimeter shooting.
Nance's signing aims to bolster the Cavaliers' frontcourt depth and versatility, with the contract expected to involve a veteran minimum salary but not officially signed until Sunday.
