LeVert (illness) provided four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 124-121 win over Denver.
LeVert returned from a seven-game absence as a result of an illness and played the second-most minutes off the bench behind only Isaiah Stewart (23). While LeVert looks healthy again, he's unlikely to see his playing time rise dramatically moving forward. Detroit didn't have Jaden Ivey available Tuesday after trading him to Chicago prior to the game, but the Pistons acquired another guard/wing in Kevin Huerter in the deal and could have available for their next contest Thursday versus Washington. In 32 appearances on the season, LeVert has averaged 7.8 points, 2.8 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 19.7 minutes per contest.

LeVert totaled 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two blocks, one rebound and one steal across 20 minutes during Saturday's 121-78 victory over the Pacers.
LeVert struggled with efficiency in this one, though he was still one of five Detroit players to score in double figures. He also led the Pistons in blocks. The veteran guard has appeared in four straight outings following a four-game absence due to left knee tendinopathy, chipping in at least two combined steals-plus-blocks in all of them. During that span, he has averaged 6.3 points, 3.5 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.3 steals in 17.8 minutes per game.

In his return from a four-game absence due to left knee tendinopathy, LeVert had his playing time monitored carefully. His 12-minute workload was his smallest of the season, but LeVert managed to fill out the stat sheet nicely during his time on the court. Once he gets fully ramped up from the knee injury, LeVert could cut into the playing time of Daniss Jenkins, who has played 20-plus minutes in three straight contests.
