Larry Nance Jr. is confident that he will be back for the Lakers in under four weeks.
Nance injured his knee a week ago against the Hornets and was diagnosed with a bone bruise. News came out on Christmas that the 2015 first-round pick would miss four weeks as he recovered. But Nance was optimistic about his return when speaking with the media on Tuesday prior to the Lakers’ game with the Jazz.
