You love Pete Nance. I love Pete Nance. The Milwaukee Bucks love Pete Nance. Yet, here we are. Life support.
Nance’s story is one of perseverance and it doesn’t take much digging to work out why. From the beginning, his NBA career has been in and out of the ER. Heck, his personal transaction list even looks like an ECG:

October 21, 2023: Waived by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
February 19, 2024: Signed a two-way contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
October 19, 2024: Waived by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

January 14, 2025: Signed a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.
