LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Heat.
LeVert recently aggravated a knee injury that he originally sustained in mid-November, and he'll be unavailable for a third consecutive game. He'll have a few days to rest before Monday's game in Orlando, but his status for that matchup isn't yet clear. Isaac Okoro, Craig Porter and Georges Niang are candidates to see increased roles off the bench Friday.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
LeVert missed Saturday's win over the Pistons after aggravating a knee issue that originally surfaced in mid-November. He missed back-to-back practices to start the week, so it's not surprising to see him immediately ruled out for Wednesday's contest. However, he can still be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's matchup in Miami. In LeVert's absence, Isaac Okoro, Craig Porter and Georges Niang are candidates for increased bench roles.

Rotowire
Coach J.B. Bickerstaff said LeVert (knee) didn't practice Tuesday, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
LeVert didn't play Saturday against the Pistons after aggravating a knee issue he originally sustained in mid-November, and he's now missed back-to-back practices to start the week. LeVert's status for Wednesday's matchup against Orlando should surface sometime Tuesday afternoon, but at the moment, he's not trending in the right direction.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Does not practice
Rotowire
LeVert (knee) did not practice Monday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
LeVert was unable to play Saturday against the Pistons after he aggravated a knee issue that first popped up in mid-November. Craig Porter saw only four minutes of action in LeVert's absence Saturday, while Isaac Okoro played 33 minutes and produced nine points, six rebounds, four assists, four steals and one three-pointer. LeVert should be considered questionable, at best, for Wednesday's game against Orlando, but his official status for that contest won't be known until Tuesday, when Cleveland releases its next injury report.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Out with knee injury
Rotowire
LeVert has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Pistons due to a left knee injury.
LeVert missed back-to-back games in mid-November due to a knee injury and has struggled since returning to action, averaging 8.0 points on 36.4 percent shooting over his last five appearances. In LeVert's absence, Craig Porter will presumably operate as the top guard behind Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell.

LeVert (knee) is available for Wednesday's game versus Miami, Cayleigh Griffin of Bally Sports Cleveland reports
LeVert has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the previous two games with a knee injury. Despite Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) being ruled out, LeVert will continue to come off the bench and be on a minutes restriction.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
LeVert (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Heat.
LeVert has missed the past two games for the Cavaliers, but he remains day-to-day. The Cavaliers will be without Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) and Isaac Okoro (knee), so two-way rookie Craig Porter could be in store for an expanded role as the Cavaliers' sixth man if LeVert is unable to play.

LeVert (knee) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the 76ers, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
LeVert will miss his second straight game Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out with left knee soreness. Sam Merrill and Craig Porter are likely to continue receiving extended minutes, with Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) and Isaac Okoro (knee) also out.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
LeVert (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports.
LeVert was also questionable ahead of Sunday's game due to left knee soreness before getting ruled out, and a similar situation could happen Tuesday. Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) and Isaac Okoro (knee) remain out, so Dean Wade has been starting, though LeVert would presumably handle extra usage if he's cleared to suit up.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Out Sunday
Rotowire
LeVert (knee) will not play Sunday against Denver, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
LeVert will join Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) on the sideline, with Dean Wade sliding into the starting lineup for a second straight game. Darius Garland and Max Strus could have huge workloads, while Georges Niang will be tasked with a larger role in the second unit. Craig Porter and Sam Merrill could also be involved in the regular rotation. LeVert's next opportunity to take the court is Tuesday against Philadelphia.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Questionable to play Sunday
Rotowire
LeVert (knee) is questionable to play Sunday against Denver.
LeVert is dealing with left knee soreness. The 29-year-old has been busy of late, averaging 17.5 points on 15.5 shots per game over Cleveland's last four contests. Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is out Sunday, so LeVert being inactive would remove serious punch from Cleveland's offense and likely force Darius Garland, Max Strus and Evan Mobley into increased usage.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Continues solid sixth-man play
Rotowire
LeVert contributed 17 points (8-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 109-95 win over the Trail Blazers.
Though he saw his streak of 20-point performances end at three while Donovan Mitchell picked apart the Trail Blazers, LeVert still saw healthy minutes off the bench as the Cavaliers' sixth man and delivered a strong all-around line. LeVert's usage will take a hit when the Cavaliers get point guard Darius Garland (neck) back in the lineup, but at this point, LeVert needs to be on a roster in most competitive fantasy leagues. His game plays better in points leagues than categories leagues, but even in the latter format, LeVert has still been plenty useful with averages of 18.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.2 steals in 33.2 minutes per game through his first 10 appearances of 2023-24.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Continues producing from bench
Rotowire
LeVert closed with 21 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Monday's 132-120 loss to the Kings.
Should LeVert continue in his current role, a Sixth Man of the Year nomination could be in his future. With the starting five performing at a high level, it appears that an injury would be the only avenue to a starting role, but he's doing just fine as the first man off the bench, averaging 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals over nine games.

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.
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.

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.
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.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Lives at the charity stripe
Rotowire
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.
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.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Drops 29 points off bench
Rotowire
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.
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.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Leading scorer off bench in return
Rotowire
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.
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.

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