Caris LeVert Injury: Iffy for Monday
Caris LeVert is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the New York Knicks.
LeVert suffered a sprained left ankle in Saturday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers. He did not practice on Sunday, but he is expected to test the ankle before Monday's game.
The Pacers will be without LeVert if he is unable to play.
LeVert is averaging 18.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game this season. He is one of the Pacers' most important players, and his absence would be a big blow.
The Pacers are 5-2 this season without LeVert.
However, those wins have come against some of the weaker teams in the NBA. The Pacers will face a much tougher test on Monday against the Knicks, who are currently in fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
The Pacers will need to find a way to replace LeVert's production if he is unable to play.
The Pacers have several players who could step up in LeVert's absence. TJ McConnell is a capable point guard who can run the offense, and Justin Holiday is a versatile wing who can score and defend. The Pacers could also start Aaron Holiday at point guard and move McConnell to shooting guard.
The Pacers will be hoping that LeVert is able to play on Monday.
But if he is unable to go, the Pacers will need to find a way to replace his production. The Knicks are a tough opponent, and the Pacers will need to be at their best to win.
