CARIS LEVERT NEWS

Logs team-high 22 points from bench LeVert chipped in 22 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 118-110 victory over Golden State.

Impact With most of Cleveland's roster back to full health, LeVert is playing from the bench but still producing. He joined Georges Niang as the first man off the bench and continued to play for the entire second quarter to spell Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland. LeVert also played almost all of the fourth quarter, giving him the highest minute count on the team.

Notable volume in win LeVert ended Saturday's 118-110 win over Golden State with 22 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals over 36 minutes.

Impact LeVert launched his second-highest shot total of the season and led Cleveland in scoring despite subpar efficiency. LeVert was the only Cavalier to log 20-plus minutes off the bench, creating a solid floor as a sixth man when Cleveland is fully healthy.

Lives at the charity stripe LeVert posted 29 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 13-16 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 loss to the Thunder.

Impact LeVert the Cavaliers in scoring Wednesday despite coming off the bench. The 29-year-old guard found joy at the free-throw line, scoring almost half his points from the charity stripe. LeVert is averaging 33.4 minutes per contest, giving him more than ample opportunities to provide quality fantasy output, especially in the scoring department.

Drops 29 points off bench LeVert finished with 29 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 13-16 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Although LeVert came off the bench during Wednesday's matchup, he had plenty of success from the floor and topped 20 points for the second time this year despite committing five fouls. The 29-year-old has had a few disappointing performances this year but should have plenty of chances to maintain a sizable role.

Leading scorer off bench in return Levert recorded 19 points (6-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 31 minutes in Wednesday's 95-89 win over the Knicks.

Impact Levert sat out of the first game of the home-and-home series with the Knicks on Tuesday with a hamstring strain. He still managed to play 31 minutes despite going back to the bench after a spot start for Donovan Mitchell on Saturday and should continue to see a lot of floor time with Darius Garland (hamstring) sidelined.

Suiting up Wednesday LeVert (hamstring) will play in Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact LeVert was originally tabbed as questionable for the closing leg of the Cavaliers' back-to-back set with hamstring soreness. However, after missing Tuesday's tilt, he's good to go Wednesday. While he'll still come off the bench even with Darius Garland (hamstring) and Jarrett Allen (ankle) sidelined, expect LeVert to see a hefty workload once again.

Downgraded to out LeVert (hamstring) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact LeVert has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to left hamstring soreness. Donovan Mitchell should take on even more of an offensive burden with LeVert and Darius Garland (hamstring) sidelined. Elevated minutes should be available for Max Strus, Dean Wade, Isaac Okoro and Georges Niang.

OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday LeVert (left hamstring soreness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact The Cavaliers can't seem to catch a break, as Darius Garland has already been ruled out with a hamstring issue and Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) remains questionable. LeVert was moving gingerly after Saturday's game and admitted to being a little sore, but it sounds like he'll see how it responds in warmups.

OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 31 points in spot start LeVert closed with 31 points (12-28 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-9 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 44 minutes during Saturday's 125-113 loss to the Pacers.

Impact LeVert got the start Saturday night with Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) ruled out for the second half of a back-to-back set. He took advantage of the opportunity and scored 31 points, the first time he's scored 30-plus in a game since Oct. 28, 2022, when he dropped 41 against the Celtics. LeVert did struggle from the charity stripe and had six of the Cavaliers' nine missed free throws Saturday.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Saturday LeVert will start Saturday against the Pacers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact LeVert will move to the starting lineup in place of Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) after recording 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 108-105 loss to the Thunder. LeVert has scored in double digits in his first two outings of the campaign but should be in line for an even bigger role in this one.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leads bench in scoring LeVert amassed 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 108-105 loss to the Thunder.

Impact LeVert ceded his spot in the starting lineup when the Cavaliers signed Max Strus to a four-year, $63 million contract during free agency, though he has played 31 minutes in each of the first two games of the 2023-24 campaign. He's led the Cavs bench in scoring in both games this season, though he's shooting just 33.3 percent from the floor so far. LeVert will continue to operate as the first player off the bench for the Cavaliers and would figure to slip into the starting lineup should Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, or Strus miss time.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to bench LeVert isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's season opener against the Nets.

Impact LeVert will be replaced by Darius Garland in the starting lineup Wednesday. LeVert is expected to be one of Cleveland's first options off the bench this season.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starts sans Garland LeVert will start Friday's preseason finale against the Pacers, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

Impact With Darius Garland (rest) out, LeVert will start next to Donovan Mitchell in Cleveland's backcourt. LeVert started only 30 of his 74 appearances last year, but he still played 30.3 minutes per game. He should have a similar role in 2023-24.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Balanced outing in preseason win LeVert tallied 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 120-89 preseason win over Ra'anana.

Impact LeVert did a little bit of everything for Cleveland in Monday's preseason victory over Ra'anana, leading the team in steals while finishing second among starters in scoring, rebounds and assists in 21 minutes. LeVert set preseason-high marks in every statistical category in Monday's contest, a good sign for a player who should play a large role for the Cavaliers this season.

OCTOBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday's exhibition LeVert will start Monday's exhibition against Maccabi, Sam Amico of HoopsWire.com reports.

Impact With Cleveland's usual starters unavailable, LeVert will get the nod at small forward. He'll be joined by Ty Jerome, Isaac Okoro, Dean Wade and Damian Jones.

OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Thursday LeVert has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Magic due to soreness, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
