Scary situation for Larry Nance, Jr. — the Cleveland Cavaliers forward reportedly lost nearly 20 POUNDS in just over a week while battling a non-COVID-related illness.
But, luckily, the 28-year-old is starting to show signs of improvement and is “on the mend.”
Nance came down with the mystery illness on March 29 while in Utah for a road game … and hasn’t played a minute of basketball since.
The details are now coming out about the hooper’s symptoms — and it’s gnarly.
Nance spent the past week and change bedridden and unable to keep food down, according to cleveland.com … all while getting consistently tested to help determine what he’s fighting.
It’s NOT COVID-19 … but it’s still unclear what exactly he’s dealing with.
The report says Nance has experienced a DRASTIC weight loss in the short amount of time … losing 20 pounds in a little over a week.
The good news?? Nance is starting to feel better … and will slowly work on getting back to his reported weight of 245 lbs. and rebuild his stamina.
It’s been a tough year for the guy — Nance also previously missed 12 games while battling a fractured left hand.
Get well soon!!
