Another Hawks veteran center has moved on in free agency.
Former Hawks center Larry Nance Jr. agreed to terms with the Cavaliers, according to a report.
The Hawks acquired Nance from the Pelicans last year in the Dejounte Murray deal. Nance provided the Hawks with depth at center despite missing much of the season with a fractured finger, as well as a right medial femoral condyle fracture.
In 24 games, Nance averaged 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists. He also provided the Hawks with key spacing, knocking down 44.7% of his 3-point attempts.
But Nance played a key role for the Hawks in their locker room. He gave them a valued veteran voice who provided coaching from a player’s perspective, as well as advocate for his teammates.
Nance joins Clint Capela and Caris LeVert, who signed with the Rockets and Pistons, respectively, among the veteran Hawks leaving in free agency.
