“Larry Nance and Cleveland have agreed on a deal that will allow the Akron native to return to his home state team for a second stint as a Cavalier … after the Hawks’ previous regime rebuffed considerable trade interest in the versatile forward over the past season-plus.”

New Orleans originally acquired Nance in February 2022 as part of the CJ McCollum trade with the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland originally acquired the seven-year veteran from the Cavaliers in August 2021 as part of a three-team sign-and-trade deal that also included the Chicago Bulls.
