ISAIAH LIVERS NEWS

Enters starting lineup Livers (hip) will start against the Raptors on Friday.

Impact Rodney McGruder (left foot sprain) has been on fire for the Pistons, but he's sitting out this contest. Livers will likely slot right into McGruder's spot in the rotation, and he did play very well at the beginning of March before injuring his hip.

Available Friday Livers (hip) is available for Friday's game against Toronto.

Impact Livers was probable for Friday's matchup, so his status doesn't come as a significant surprise. However, he's missed the past four games, so it's possible his playing time is monitored against the Raptors. Over his last six appearances, the 24-year-old has averaged 11.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 31.7 minutes per game.

Probable Friday Livers (hip) is probable for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Livers has missed the last four games due to a sore right hip, but he'll likely be able to return to the court Friday. He's averaged 11.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 31.7 minutes per game over six appearances in March, but it's possible his playing time is monitored if he's cleared to suit up against Toronto.

Out Tuesday Livers (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

Impact Tuesday will mark the fourth consecutive game on the sidelines for Livers, which will continue to lead to more minutes for Rodney McGruder, Eugene Omoruyi and R.J. Hampton. McGruder has been hot over the past four games, posting averages of 17.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 4.0 triples and 1.5 steals per contest on 43.9 percent shooting, so he's someone to consider as a streamer. Livers' next opportunity to play will come Friday in Toronto.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Livers (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Hawks.

Impact Livers has missed three straight games due to right hip soreness, but he'll have a chance to return Tuesday. However, if he remains sidelined, Rodney McGruder, Eugene Omoruyi and R.J. Hampton (back) will remain candidates for increased roles.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Livers (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Heat.

Impact Livers will miss a third straight game due to right hip soreness. Rodney McGruder, Eugene Omoruyi and R.J. Hampton (back) continue to be candidates for increased roles in Livers' prolonged absence.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Sunday Livers (hip) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against Miami.

Impact Livers didn't play Thursday against the Nuggets and logged a limited practice Saturday, so all signs point to him being a game-time call for Sunday's matchup. The former Michigan standout has missed Detroit's last two games, and if he can't go Sunday, then R.J. Hampton would probably remain in the starting lineup.

MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Logs partial practice Livers (hip) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Livers has missed a pair of games with soreness in his right hip, which has opened up opportunities for the likes of Eugene Omoruyi and Rodney McGruder with the Pistons having a slew of injuries outside of Livers. If Livers is able to go Sunday and the Pistons remain without other key players, he could be forced into a larger role.

MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Denver Livers (hip) is out for Thursday's game versus the Nuggets.

Impact Livers will miss his second straight game Thursday due to right hip soreness. R.J. Hampton was inserted into the starting lineup in his absence. Livers will have two days to recover before Sunday's matchup with Miami.

MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Tuesday Livers is out for Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards due to right hip soreness.

Impact Livers had a poor showing Monday against the Pacers and left early due to the hip issue, which will prevent him from playing Tuesday. Detroit's injury report is excessive, and Livers' added absence will likely result in even more minutes for Rodney McGruder, Eugene Omoruyi and Jared Rhoden.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

'He's a big part of our future': Isaiah Livers, the Pistons' 24 year old with upside The Pistons showed a lot of faith in second-round pick Isaiah Livers from Day 1. He's proving them right.

MARCH 13, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Inefficient high-water mark Livers registered 18 points (7-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and four steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 loss to Indiana.

Impact Fueled by the absence of Jaden Ivey (illness), Livers recorded a season-high 18 points on huge usage. The Pacers offense was less organized sans Tyrese Haliburton (knee), but Livers' defensive acumen isn't off-brand. He's been a subtly solid two-way contributor this season, signaling real value on nights where the Pistons are shorthanded.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leading scorer in loss Livers chipped in a season-high 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 39 minutes during Monday's 110-104 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact The Pistons deployed a balanced offense with seven different players scoring in double digits, but they didn't have an answer for Damian Lillard. Livers led that group, and his 17 points were a season high. The 24-year-old forward has started three straight games, and he'll continue to see big minutes and usage as long as Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (hip) remain sidelined.

MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Cavs Livers (ankle) will start Saturday's action against the Cavaliers, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact After a one-game absence, Livers gets the nod at small forward with Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) sidelined. In 10 starts this season, Livers has averaged 6.3 points and 1.8 rebounds in 21.5 minutes.

MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available at Cleveland Livers (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Livers will return following a one-game absence. He could see extra run due to Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) being sidelined.

MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Saturday Livers (ankle) is probable for Saturday's action at Cleveland.

Impact After a one-game absence, Livers practiced Friday and should be good to go Saturday. With Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) out, Livers could see extra run. In Livers' nine February appearances before suffering the injury, he averaged 5.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 22.6 minutes.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Friday Head coach Dwane Casey said Livers (ankle) practiced Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Livers was absent for Wednesday's loss to the Bulls due to a left ankle sprain he suffered Monday. However, he appears to be trending in the right direction and could return to action Saturday in Cleveland, but his official status for that contest won't be known until the Pistons release their next injury report.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Livers (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

Impact As expected, Livers has been downgraded from doubtful to out, joining Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (hip) on the sideline. With the frontcourt depleted, expect James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley to garner major roles versus Chicago.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful Wednesday Livers (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls.

Impact Livers exited Monday's game against the Hornets due to a sprained ankle and failed to practice Tuesday, so it's unsurprising that he'll likely miss Wednesday's game. On a positive note, Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) is probable to return following a one-game absence.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unable to practice Tuesday Livers (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Livers left Monday's loss to the Hornets in the first half and didn't return. He was one of five Pistons who didn't practice Tuesday, so Detroit may have a skeleton crew available versus the Bulls on Wednesday.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Departs with ankle sprain Livers won't return to Monday's game against the Hornets due to a left ankle sprain, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Livers left the contest in the first half and was quickly ruled out after being evaluated further. With the Pistons already thin in the frontcourt, look for James Wiseman, Rodney McGruder and Marvin Bagley to see additional chances the rest of the way.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Livers will start Monday's matchup with the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Impact Detroit will be missing Jalen Duren (ankle), Isaiah Stewart (hip), Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) and Jaden Ivey (personal), so there will be a ton of opportunities for Livers in this one, making him someone to think about as a streamer. Joining him in the first unit will be Killian Hayes, Rodney McGruder, Alec Burks and James Wiseman.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in double figures Livers closed with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Saturday's 95-91 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Livers was efficient from the field in this one and scored nine of his 11 points from beyond the arc. He's also recorded a block in back-to-back games. Double-digit scoring performances have been rare for the Michigan product of late, as he's scored 10 or more points in only three of his last 17 appearances.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sneaky double-double Friday Livers notched 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 138-131 double-overtime victory over the Spurs.

Impact Livers notched his first double-double of the season, making the most of what were a season-high 40 minutes. With Saddiq Bey potentially on his way to Atlanta, Livers figures to step into a larger role moving forward. While he doesn't have a particularly fantasy-friendly game, a sizeable role should at least put him on the radar in deeper formats.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Thursday Livers (ankle) will come off the bench Thursday against the Nets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Livers was initially ruled as questionable for Thursday's matchup with a right ankle sprain. With Alec Burks in the starting lineup, Livers will see minutes off the bench alongside Isaiah Stewart (shoulder).
