Stefan 1,207 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 1 hour ago, Austin_Rivers said: There's a lot of pros to this. The fact that he doesn't have an injury to a ligament means he can pretty much stay in shape. He's already on the court with the team which bodes well he'll return at some point and more than likely sooner than Warren (who may be done for the season) He'll hit the ground running when he does return and this isn't like his past injuries where his play was affected from injury. He could be a league winning stash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vikster07 14 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I really have doubts he'll come back this season. you guys are treating like he just got a sprain or something. He had surgery for cancer, I think its best to manage expectations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ejack37 19 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) So are you guys all holding or dropping? I feel like April would be too late and a waste of IL spot, especially with players possibly going out with Covid. Also, when he does come back he will need to get in game shape.

hornrimmed_rambis 2,088 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Kevin Bowen, the ESPN local radio reporter who covers the Pacers, thinks this is the timeline: LeVert is doing some shooting in practice right now and the hope is he can get integrated into full practice around the All-Star break (begins March 4th). The thought there is LeVert’s Pacers debut could come early in the second half of the season. The wait for Warren is expected to be longer. https://www.1075thefan.com/kevins-sports-news/pacers/pacers-survive-in-overtime-win-in-minnesota/ That would put it at March 15-21. 2 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However I think he will be limited all season. Why push him? What type of role/line are you guys predicting? Standard league relevant? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fabrar 2,897 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Regardless of when he comes back (as long as it's within fantasy playoffs), I think the upside is too high to leave him on the wire. I'm stashing him in IR and seeing what happens. But totally get it for those who do not have the space to hold on to him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thornton1986 104 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 What kind of role/line do you guys think he will have? Won’t it be crowded once Warren gets back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hornrimmed_rambis 2,088 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 This is already 2 days old: Bjorkgren on Caris LeVert's progress: "He's getting involved a lot....He was in 4 on 0 offense. 5 on 0 offense. All of our shooting drills are non-contact drills and he was in every one of them." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His conditioning will be up there and it's not like he had an injury to his leg or hand that would affect his game for a while. As for Warren im suspecting he may not come back at all and even if he does stress fractures are extremely risky to deal with. He'll be severely limited. Just look at Holiday and Beal with their stress fractures. One aggravation and you're done for a long period of time again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He had the injury before so they will be rightfully cautious Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brickcitymamba 325 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 In light of this, is he already a must-pick-up, especially in leagues on the deeper side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thornton1986 104 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 What kind of line are you guys expecting? Only droppable guys on my roster are Maledon and Rubio so not sure about grabbing him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only droppable guys on my roster are Maledon and Rubio so not sure about grabbing him Other than getting his conditioning up to speed and shaking the rust off he really shouldn't have any issues as he technically is not really coming back from an injury. So I'd say he should be able to put up numbers pretty close to what he was in bkn. He'll be the 3rd or maybe even 2nd scoring option behind sabonis. Maybe 17/5/5 and having brogdon and sabonis around should help his efficiency too as he doesn't have to carry the offense Edited February 27 by fabrar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gdupm6 525 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 How good of a stash is he now ? Worth grabbing in 10 team leagues ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
