Lakers' Larry Nance: Probable for Wednesday vs. Suns

Nance is dealing with a sprained right thumb, but is probable for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Mark Medina of Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Analysis:

It's unclear exactly when Nance suffered the sprain, but it's nothing serious and he's fully expected to play through the injury. Nance has seen a jump in playing time of late and over his last five games has averaged 10.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.0 steals across 26.8 minutes, so despite being in a reserve role, he's still got some value in deeper leagues.
