LeVert (wrist) tallied four points (2-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one steal across 23 minutes Friday in the Pistons' 126-110 win over the Grizzlies.
Back in action following a three-game absence due to a left wrist sprain, LeVert saw solid playing time off the bench but was highly ineffective. In addition to failing to connect from deep, LeVert tied for a team high with three turnovers. LeVert should be able to retain a spot on the second unit moving forward, but he'll likely see his minutes drop slightly if either or both of Tobias Harris (hip) or Ausar Thompson (ankle) are able to play in the Pistons' next game Sunday in Toronto.

Pistons' Caris LeVert: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
LeVert has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat due to a left wrist sprain.
LeVert may have picked up the injury during the Pistons' 107-105 loss to the Nets on Saturday, when he logged 16 minutes and finished with seven points, two rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and one three-pointer. Kevin Huerter and Javonte Green should both see an increase in minutes off the bench due to LeVert's absence Sunday. LeVert's next opportunity to play is Tuesday against the Nets.

LeVert accumulated five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 114-103 loss to the Spurs.
The Pistons are mostly healthy, and LeVert will be a candidate for a lesser role once Isaiah Stewart comes off his suspension. LeVert has scored in single figures in eight consecutive contests, failing to log at least 25 minutes in any outing.

Pistons' Caris LeVert: Logs 20 minutes in return
Rotowire
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.
