3 years agoCleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Caris LeVert (foot) and small/power forward Lauri Markkanen (ankle) have been given the green light to take the floor for Monday's game against the Clippers. LeVert will come off the bench in his return to action and face a minutes restriction, which will allow Lamar Stevens to earn a start in place of Dean Wade (knee). LeVert had missed the past nine outings due to a foot sprain and has averaged 13.3 points and 3.8 assists across his first four contests as a Cavalier. Markkanen returns from a one-game absence, looking to pick up where he left off during his last three games, in which he averaged 19.3 PPG on 50% shooting.--Jesse Borek
