Caris LeVert was listed as questionable for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cleveland Cavaliers because of a right heel contusion, leaving the Pistons with another injury question as the series shifts to Cleveland on Monday night.
LeVert played 17 minutes in Saturday’s 116-109 Game 3 loss to the Cavaliers, coming off the bench and finishing with six points and four steals. He has appeared in nine games this postseason, averaging 12.8 minutes, 3.0 points and 2.1 rebounds.
The status comes as Detroit continues to sort through its rotation late in the series. Kevin Huerter was also listed questionable for Game 4 with a left adductor strain, an injury he suffered during the Pistons’ Game 3 loss to the Orlando Magic on April 25, and he has already missed the previous six games.
Game 4 is scheduled for Monday, May 11, at 8:00 p.m. ET in Cleveland, and LeVert’s availability could shape how much scoring and perimeter defense the Pistons can lean on if he is limited or unable to go. His production has been modest on the stat sheet, but his minutes and defensive activity have made him part of the team’s short-term postseason plans.
