What happened: Larry Nance Jr. elevated for an above-the-rim play during Wednesday's 2026-27 NBA regular-season action. He opened training camp for his 12th NBA season on Oct. 6 after his extension became official on July 9.

Why it matters: Added to the frontcourt rotation on July 8, Nance supplies veteran interior depth and vertical finishing off the bench. His one-year deal gives the second unit an experienced frontcourt option across the regular-season schedule.

What to watch: Nance continues his reserve frontcourt role as the opening week of the regular season continues.
