He was drafted by The Miami Floridians in the 1972 ABA Draft and was later claimed by the Virginia Squires later that same year after the Floridians folded. During his three seasons in the ABA from 1973-76 Nater played for the San Antonio Spurs the Virginia Squires and the New York Nets. With the Spurs Nater was the American Basketball Association Rookie of the Year in 1974. He led the ABA in field goal percentage in 1974 and was the leagues top rebounder in 1975. He was named to the All-ABA Second Team in 1974 and 1975 and participated in the ABA All-Star Game both seasons.
