Role remains in flux Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Wednesday that he's not sure what LeVert's role will be following the All-Star break, Chris Manning of WKYC 3 News reports. Impact LeVert, who was acquired ahead of the trade deadline, has averaged 13.3 points, 3.8 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 31.0 minutes across in four appearances (one start) for the Cavaliers. His only start came with Darius Garland and Lauri Markkanen (ankle) sidelined, but it was his best game with his new squad, as he posted 22 points (10-19 FG,1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, three steals, two rebounds and one block in 36 minutes. Garland has since returned to the lineup and Markkanen appears to be trending in the right direction, so there doesn't appear to be a clear avenue for LeVert to join the starting lineup anytime soon.
