ATLANTA — Atlanta Hawks forward Larry Nance Jr. will undergo surgery for a broken bone in his right hand. Nance was injured Saturday in a victory over the Miami Heat. The team now says that imaging confirmed a fractured fourth metacarpal bone in his right hand. Surgery has been scheduled for Thursday. A timeline for Nance's return won't be known until after the procedure. The 31-year-old Nance has been a valuable performer off the Atlanta bench after being acquired last summer in a blockbuster trade with the New Orleans Pelicans.
