Caris LeVert Scores Team-High 25 Points For Nets
5 years agoBrooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert was given the green light against the Sixers on Thursday. He scored 25 points in 39 minutes, but he was not at all efficient. It took 29 field-goal attempts for LeVert to score as many points as he did, as he only converted on nine of them. A 31% clip from the team's leading scorer is not going to get it done against a foe of Philly's caliber, which is why the Nets ended up losing. With Kyrie Irving (shoulder) out for the season, the four-year pro should continue to play a pivotal role in the team's offense. But considering he is shooting 39.8% from the field this season, it remains to be seen whether he can score efficiently as a top option.

Caris LeVert Available On Saturday Evening
3 weeks agoAtlanta Hawks forward Caris LeVert (knee) will suit up on Saturday versus the Warriors. The veteran has played well since being traded to Atlanta, averaging 16.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.0 steals. Fortunately, the knee soreness won't keep him off the floor. With so many injuries on the Atlanta roster, LeVert should remain involved enough to warrant consideration for any fantasy lineup, although his presence will likely mean less work for Georges Niang.

LeVert has looked great in a Hawks uniform, averaging 20.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists across his last five appearances.

Caris LeVert Iffy Wednesday
1 month agoAtlanta Hawks guard/forward Caris LeVert (finger) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's clash against the Charlotte Hornets. He has sprained his left middle finger and may be forced to sit out a second consecutive game. If he returns, LeVert is a candidate to fill in for Trae Young (quadriceps) in the starting unit, who is also questionable for the game. Terance Mann and Vit Krejci should see a bump in playing time if LeVert remains out. On Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers, Mann had one of his best games of the season with 19 points, six rebounds, and four assists in 33 minutes off the bench.

Caris LeVert Is Out For Monday's Matchup With Philadelphia
1 month agoAccording to Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta Hawks guard Caris LeVert (knee) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. LeVert will be sidelined for the first time since being dealt to Atlanta on February 6th due to a left middle finger sprain. Despite the setback, the 30-year-old has fit in well with his new club, finishing with at least 20 points in four of the last five games. Terance Mann and Keaton Wallace will likely carry the team's backcourt with LeVert and Trae Young (quadricep) out of action this evening.
