I don’t think there are too many teams that should make a major investment in Caris LeVert, but Cleveland would be one of them. I like the addition. – 4:29 PM

Caris LeVert stayed after practice for ~30mins to get more shots up and was the last player off the court. This after his 42-point showing last night v Chicago. pic.twitter.com/EECimtv1at – 2:42 PM

Caris LeVert’s 28 halftime points are the 5th most in Pacers franchise history. Only TJ Warren, Jermaine O’Neal, Reggie Miller, and Danny Granger scored more points in a first half. Not a bad crew to be named with. – 8:00 PM

Caris LeVert with 26 points, but the lack of size is really hurting the #Pacers. Indiana trails 56-48. – 7:53 PM

More on this storyline
Joe Vardon: The Cavaliers are trying to acquire Caris LeVert from the Pacers ahead of next week’s deadline. For a little twist, Indiana is on its way to Cleveland today for a game tomorrow, @The Athletic -via Twitter @joevardon / February 5, 2022
While the Cavs have placed calls on wing reinforcements such as Eric Gordon and Caris LeVert, both the Rockets’ and Pacers’ asking prices have been described as too high for Cleveland. The Cavaliers seem to prefer sending two second-round picks to acquire either player, but the Rockets believe they can get a first-rounder for Gordon, and the Pacers are seeking more than a first-round pick for LeVert. -via Bleacher Report / February 2, 2022
Eric Gordon’s value hasn’t been this high in years after he’s had multiple injury-plagued seasons. The Cavaliers have kept tabs on Gordon, Caris LeVert, Terrence Ross, among shooting guards on the trade market, I’ve heard. -via HoopsHype / January 26, 2022
