Caris LeVert injury status vs. 76ers

Given Caris LeVert’s questionable injury report, the assumption is that he could suit up against the 76ers. LeVert has been a fixture on the Cavs’ injury report lately, missing the previous two games against the Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets while recovering from his wrist injury.
After beating the Suns 118-92, the Cavs lost by one point to the Rockets (109-106), their first loss since losing by 20 to the Thunder on January 16. LeVert’s offensive production had been lacking before he missed two games in a row, combining for eleven points in his last two appearances.
LeVert is averaging 10.8 points, 3.8 assists, and 0.9 steals per game this season. It’s a dip in the kind of production we saw in 2023-24. However, he’s shooting at a career-best 42% clip from behind the three-point arc despite shooting a combined 1-for-10 in his last four outings.
The Cavs are 2-0 against the 76ers this season. Beating the Sixers by double-digits in each outing, the Cavs defeated the 76ers 114-106 in November before capturing a 126-99 win on December 21. Mobley finished with 22 points, 13 rebounds, and seven assists in the win, and LeVert scored a dozen points off the bench. However, there’s a decent chance Cavs will face the Sixers without both in Friday’s matchup.
When it comes to the question of if Caris LeVert is playing tonight vs. the 76ers, the answer remains up in the air.
