Nance played at Revere High School.[2] In his senior season, Nance was 6 feet 10 inches (2.08 m) tall and weighed 205 pounds (93 kg).[3] That year, Nance led Revere to its first district championship, and he was named the Ohio Division II Player of the Year.[4] On June 29, 2017, Nance committed to playing for Northwestern Wildcats men's basketball team starting in the 2018–19 season.[5][6] In doing so, Nance declined offers from the University of Michigan and the Ohio State University.[7] Nance was a four-star recruit and the highest-ranked recruit in program history.[8][9] Scout.com ranked him as the 83rd-best overall player and the 19th-best power forward in the country.[10] Meanwhile, 247Sports ranked him 64th overall.[8]
Nance debuted in an exhibition game against the McKendree Bearcats, during which he notched 12 points, eight rebounds, three blocks and four steals in 19 minutes off the bench.[11] In his first regular-season college basketball game, Nance scored three points and provided one assist in a win against the New Orleans Privateers.[12] Nance earned his first collegiate start in an 80–60 loss to the Michigan Wolverines.[13] He averaged 8.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game as a sophomore.[14] As a junior, Nance averaged 11.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.[15] He missed a game against Michigan State on January 15, 2022, due to an ankle injury.[16]
Nance averaged 14.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game as a senior. After testing the waters in the 2022 NBA draft, Nance ultimately returned to college and transferred to North Carolina.[17]

Nance transferred to North Carolina to play in his fifth collegiate season, joining a team that had been national runners-up the season prior. He was able to join the Tar Heels due to an NCAA rule granting all student-athletes an extra year of eligibility because of the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down sports at the end of the 2019–20 season. Immediately becoming a starter and a key part of the rotation, Nance and the Tar Heels struggled through an up-and-down season. Hampered by a nagging back injury that kept him out of a few games, Nance started all 30 games in which he played as a Tar Heel. He averaged 10 points and 6 rebounds per game, and shot 42% from the floor in his lone season in Chapel Hill.[18]
After going undrafted in the 2023 NBA draft, Nance joined the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 2023 NBA Summer League and on September 13, 2023, he signed with the Cavaliers.[19] However, he was waived on October 21[20] and one week later, signed with the Cleveland Charge of the NBA G League.[21]
On January 18, 2024, Nance signed a 10-day contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers,[22] making him the third member of the Nance family to play for the Cavaliers (after his father Larry and brother Larry Jr.).[23] On January 30, he returned to the Cleveland Charge[24] and on February 19, he signed a two-way contract with the Cavaliers.[25]
On September 24, 2024, Nance signed a standard contract with the Cavaliers,[26] but was waived on October 19.[27] Seven days later, he re-joined the Charge.[28]
