LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports.
LeVert will miss Tuesday's contest due to left knee inflammation. The 30-year-old has played significant minutes off the bench for the Cavs this season, and with him sidelined the club will likely take an extended look at Ty Jerome and Georges Niang. LeVert's next chance to feature will come Wednesday against the Pelicans.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Dealing with left knee inflammation
Rotowire
LeVert (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
LeVert missed two games earlier in the regular season due to right knee soreness; however, he is now working through inflammation in his left knee. With LeVert, Sam Merrill (ankle) and Isaac Okoro (ankle) all working through injuries, the Cavs may have to go deep into their bench Tuesday, which gives Craig Porter, Ty Jerome and Georges Niang an opportunity to see more playing time.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Low-volume production Wednesday
Rotowire
LeVert ended Wednesday's 114-106 win over the 76ers with seven points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 25 minutes.
LeVert was able to chip in across the board, albeit in small quantities. Despite playing a consistent role off the bench, LeVert's playing time has been a little underwhelming, resulting in modest production. He remains a key piece in the second unit, but as long as the team is winning, it appears as though they are going to continue to limit LeVert's opportunities.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Modest effort in victory
Rotowire
LeVert notched nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 20 minutes during Friday's 113-101 victory over the Pistons.
LeVert salvaged a quiet night with four combined steals and blocks, continuing his modest start to the season. With Max Strus (ankle) slated to miss at least the next month, LeVert once again finds himself the beneficiary. We have yet to get a good read on what his role might look like on most nights, but he makes for a viable addition to most fantasy squads.

Rotowire
LeVert (knee) was able to practice Tuesday to open training camp.
LeVert aggravated a lingering knee injury during Game 5 against the Celtics to end his season. There's been no mention of his knee at camp, however, so he should be all systems go.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Questionable for Wednesday

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Nears 20 points in Game 4 start
Rotowire
LeVert ended with 19 points (9-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 39 minutes during Monday's 109-102 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
LeVert got the starting nod with the Cavaliers playing without Jarrett Allen (ribs) and Donovan Mitchell (calf), providing a lift offensively while ending one point shy of the 20-point mark in a losing effort. LeVert has been a key player coming off the bench for Cleveland this series, posting 15 or more points in three of the four games against Boston. If Mitchell is able to return for Game 5, look for LeVert to return to the second unit to be a spark off the bench. If Mitchell does miss Game 5, LeVert will be called upon again to step into the starting lineup.

Cavaliers' Caris LeVert: Reaches 20 points off bench in win
Rotowire

LeVert made the most of his time off the bench in Game 2, ending as one of three Cavaliers with 20 or more points while helping Cleveland claim a much-needed victory to even the series against Boston. LeVert didn't connect on a three but still ended tied for second on the team in scoring to go along with a half-dozen rebounds and a trio of assists. LeVert had a bounce-back game after recording just four points in Tuesday's Game 1, playing a big part in Cleveland being able to steal a game on the road as it now returns home to try and take a lead in the series.

LeVert is in the midst of a tough series, and although the Cavaliers were missing Jarrett Allen (ribs), the team opted to turn to Isaac Okoro and Marcus Morris rather than LeVert. Through five games, the guard has averaged only 7.2 points, 2.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers on 33.3 percent shooting.
