Caris LeVert of the Cleveland Cavaliers Ruled Out for Saturday's Game
Missed Game Due to Ankle Soreness
Caris LeVert of the Cleveland Cavaliers will not play in Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers due to ankle soreness, the team announced. LeVert suffered the injury in Wednesday's win over the New York Knicks and did not participate in Friday's practice.
LeVert's Impact on the Cavaliers

LeVert's Absence Creates Opportunity for Others
LeVert's absence will create an opportunity for other players in the Cavaliers' rotation. Isaac Okoro is expected to start in LeVert's place, while Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, and Evan Mobley will see increased usage.
Cavs' Upcoming Schedule
After Saturday's game against the Pacers, the Cavaliers will have a day off before hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday. They will then travel to face the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday and the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.
Cavaliers Aim to Stay Afloat Without LeVert
The Cavaliers are currently 15-13 this season and sit in seventh place in the Eastern Conference. They will need to find a way to stay afloat without LeVert, who is one of their most consistent and versatile players.
