It’s been a long time coming for Caris LeVert, but he’s finally making his return to the court.
LeVert was one of the players shuffled around in the James Harden trade back in January, and that trade seemed to have saved his health.
When he was moved to the Pacers, LeVert had a routine physical and the team found a small cancerous mass on his kidney. He subsequently had surgery a few weeks later.
Now, LeVert is finally preparing to make his debut as a Pacer after his health scare. He’s slated to play on Saturday for the first time against the Phoenix Suns.
After undergoing surgery to remove a small mass on his left kidney in late January, guard Caris LeVert will make his Indiana Pacers debut vs. Phoenix on Saturday, sources tell ESPN.

This is just incredible news. First of all, and most importantly, it’s great to know that LeVert is healthy and cancer-free. It’s also just dope to see him hitting the basketball court again.
Fans were so happy for him.
Caris Levert really has surgery to remove a cancerous mass less than 2 months ago…
The fact we get to see him balling in a pacers uniform soon is an unbelievable blessing 🙏
