Larry Nance Jr. Out for Hawks with Right-Hand Injury
Larry Nance Jr. of the Atlanta Hawks is dealing with a right-hand injury and will not be playing. This injury news comes after he was previously listed as questionable due to the same issue.
What It Means
Larry Nance Jr. has been an important part of the Hawks this season, averaging 9.5 points per game and shooting 58.5% from the field. His absence will impact the team’s rotation, especially in his power forward position.
With Nance Jr. out, Jalen Johnson will likely see more minutes on the court. Johnson is currently leading the team in points per game at his position, with an average of 20 points per game. This could also mean more playing time for Mouhamed Gueye, who ranks third among power forwards on the team.
