Cavs interested in bringing back Caris LeVert
The LeVert decision wasn’t solely about this season. A free agent at the end of the year, the Cavs are interested in bringing him back on a multi-year deal — at the right price. They like him. They value him. He is one of their trusted high-minute guys — a staple of Bickerstaff’s nightly rotation. Bickerstaff has repeatedly commended LeVert for his unselfishness, sacrifice, character and adaptability. He’s also having his best month — right in time for the postseason.

Caris LeVert has been really good again tonight, so it seems like a good time to re-up this. thelandondemand.com/news/2023/mar/… – 9:17 PM

Royce O’Neale takes the wide open 3 with 7 seconds left in the half, and Caris LeVert is able to push the miss back and make a 3 of his own. Nets had closed to within 13 with a nice run. Big swing. – 9:17 PM

That Caris LeVert buzzer-beating 3-pointer gives the #Cavs a bit more of a cushion and alleviates what was otherwise a pretty poor close to the third. They’re up 94-78 headed to the fourth, but led by as many as 24 during that quarter. – 9:15 PM

Timeout Jacque Vaughn after Caris LeVert plays some intense defense on Mikal Bridges at halfcourt. Nets lead 30-26 with 11:02 left in Q2. Nic Claxton and Donovan Mitchell lead this one with 7 points apiece. – 8:12 PM

#Cavs trailing the Nets 30-23 after the first quarter. Offense didn’t look very good for most of the quarter, especially when Mitchell and Garland were both on the bench. Mitchell has a game-high seven points, Garland and Caris LeVert both have five. – 8:06 PM

Greetings from Barclays. Nets-Cavs tips shortly. Big mini-series this week. Would be tough sledding if the Nets drop both games. Jarret Allen, Spencer Dinwiddie, Caris LeVert and Joe Harris all in the building since the original James Harden trade. Updates to come. – 7:39 PM

Jacque Vaughn calls Jarrett Allen “one of the smartest bigs I’ve ever been around.” Allen, Caris LeVert, Joe Harris and Spencer Dinwiddie will all be in the same building tonight. Party like it’s 2019. – 5:55 PM
