lth update on center Larry Nance, who was injured in today's game:

Larry Nance Jr. sustained a right hand injury during today’s game vs. Miami at State Farm Arena. Additional details regarding the injury, a treatment plan and a timeline will be shared when available.This could be significant news but until there is an update on Nance, it won't be known. He could be out for a period of time though and it puts his status for tomorrow's game vs Toronto in question.
So what does this mean for the Hawks? They are already down one center with Onyeka Okongwu missing the last five games and no timetable for a return. If Nance is indeed out for a period of time and Okongwu is not back, Dominick Barlow is the other option the Hawks have. Barlow is talented on the offensive end, but has a long way to go defensively. Cody Zeller is on the roster, but has not been with the team at any point since coming over in the trade that sent Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans.
Nance has been a very good player when he has been on the floor for the Hawks. He is averaging 9.5 PPG on 58% shooting from the floor and 53% from three. Keep an eye out for more updates on Nance's health. The Hawks are about to embark on a long road trip that starts tomorrow in Toronto.Jackson Caudell has been covering Georgia Tech Athletics For On SI since March 2022 and the Atlanta Hawks for On SI since October 2023.
