ISAIAH LIVERS NEWS

Greenlit to play Thursday Livers (ankle) will be available for Thursday's matchup in Brooklyn.

Impact Livers should fill a sizable role for the Pistons but may be bound for the bench again Thursday, with Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) also receiving the go-ahead to retake the floor. Regardless of his starting status, Livers doesn't produce enough on a nightly basis to move the needle in most fantasy formats.

Lining up to play Thursday Livers (ankle) is trending toward taking the floor Thursday against the Nets, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Initially questionable on the injury report, Livers looks to be doing well with his ankle and should play a sizable role again Thursday after a brief departure from Monday's game versus the Bucks. Livers has started two of the last three games, though the expected return of Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) may result in Livers returning to a bench role.

Questionable against Nets Livers is questionable for Thursday's game against Brooklyn due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact Livers went to the locker room Monday against the Bucks but was able to return to the game and tallied nine points, a rebound, an assist and a steal in 22 minutes. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Thursday after being diagnosed with a right ankle sprain, but if he's available, thes size of his role will likely depend on whether Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) is cleared to return.

Returns after foot injury Livers (foot) accumulated nine points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 150-130 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Livers drew the start Monday and scored six points in 11 minutes before leaving in the first half with a foot injury. However, he returned in the second half, so it appears the issue was minor. As long as Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) remains out, Livers will be a candidate for increased playing time in Detroit's frontcourt.

Heads to locker room early Livers went to the locker room early after sustaining a foot injury during the first half of Monday's contest against the Bucks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact The exact extent of the injury is unknown at this time. Prior to exiting, Livers had recorded six points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and one steal across 11 minutes.

Starting Monday Livers will start in Monday's game against the Bucks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Livers will draw the start in place of Killian Hayes (shoulder) alongside Jaden Ivey, Bojan Bogdanovic, Saddiq Bey and Jalen Duren. Over eight starts this season, Livers has posted 6.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 23.3 minutes per game.

Looks good in starting role Livers finished with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes in Sunday's 117-104 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Livers picked up his eighth start of the season Sunday, but it came largely out of necessity while Detroit was without five rotation players due to injury. Assuming at least one of Bojan Bogdanovic (illness) and Jalen Duren (ankle) is back in action for Thursday's game against the Bulls in France, Livers will be a prime candidate to move the bench and see his minutes get cut in half.

Returns to starting lineup Sunday Livers will start Sunday's matchup against the Knicks, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact With Bojan Bogdanovic (illness) out, Livers will draw his first start since Dec. 1. Across his seven previous starts, Livers has averaged 6.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 20.9 minutes per game.

Rejoins rotation Wednesday Livers (shoulder) logged 18 minutes off the bench and finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in Wednesday's 135-118 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Though the Pistons were without both members of their starting frontcourt (Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart) as well as Marvin Bagley (hand), Livers handled only a light role off the second unit in his return from a 20-game absence. Considering that Saddiq Bey (31 points on 10-for-16 shooting) and Nerlens Noel (four blocks, three steals) both performed well in place of Stewart (shoulder) and Duren (ankle), respectively, Livers may not see his role grow much even if Detroit remains shorthanded in the frontcourt Friday against the Pelicans.

Officially clear for return Livers (shoulder) will return to action Wednesday versus the Bulls.

Impact Livers was already listed as probable on the initial injury report, but he's officially set to return following a month-plus on the sidelines due to a right shoulder sprain. Given the lengthy absence, Livers could face a minutes restriction out the gate, though he may have been able to work on conditioning somewhat with an upper-body injury. The Pistons are short on depth in the frontcourt with Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) and Jalen Duren (ankle) out, which could allow Livers to handle as many minutes as his conditioning allows.
