Cavs’ Nance breaks thumb, 2 others concussed against Wizards

<p>CLEVELAND &mdash; Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. broke his right thumb in Sunday’s loss at Washington and likely will miss the remainder of the season.</p>
<p>Nance’s injury was one of several suffered by Cleveland players and will leave the Cavaliers short-handed for Monday night’s game against Toronto in Florida.</p>
<p>Guard Matthew Dellavedova is out with a neck strain and after receiving four stitches when he was accidentally head-butted. Also, center Isaiah Hartenstein and forward Lamar Stevens suffered concussions against the Wizards.</p>
<p>Leading scorer Collin Sexton missed the game with a concussion he got last week in Charlotte. He also has been ruled out again, and there’s no timeline on a return.</p>
<p>The broken thumb is the latest medical setback for Nance, who missed seven games recently with an undisclosed illness and more than a month with a broken left hand.</p>
<p>The 28-year-old Nance is averaging 9.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in 35 games.</p>
<p>Cleveland has 12 games left in a season that has been marred by injuries.</p>
