  08/24/2020 •

  LeVert produced 35 points (11-23 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six assists, six rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes in Sunday's 150-122 loss to the Raptors. LeVert one of his best games in the bubble to no avail, as the Nets fell behind early and were swept out of Round 1. Without Kyrie Irving to direct the offense, LeVert seized increased opportunity for much of the season, including bubble play. LeVert scored at least 20 points in five of his 10 appearances in Orlando.

• Nets' Caris LeVert: Another strong playmaking effort

  08/19/2020 •

  LeVert recorded 16 points (5-22 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 11 assists, six rebounds and one block across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 104-99 Game 2 loss to the Raptors. LeVert's shooting was awful, but he helped get his teammates involved again after going for 15 assists in Game 1. LeVert's passing has been stellar lately, and over his past five appearances, he's averaging 11.0 assists to just 3.6 turnovers. However, he's shooting just 10-for-36 in the series and has yet to make a three-pointer.

  08/15/2020 •

  LeVert has been selected to the NBA's All-Bubble Second Team, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. With so many players sidelined for the Nets, LeVert stepped up as Brooklyn's primary ball handler, taking on the biggest workload of his career. During his six seeding-game appearances, he averaged 25.0 points, 6.7 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 33.0 minutes.

• Nets' Caris LeVert: Scores team-high 37 points

  08/14/2020 •

  LeVert produced 37 points (16-29 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine assists, six rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot across 32 minutes in Thursday's 134-133 loss to the Trail Blazers. The Nets could have easily tanked this game -- or at the very least, rested LeVert due to his thigh injury -- but coach Jacque Vaughn wanted to make sure his team was running on all cylinders before tackling the Raptors in the first round. The result was an instant classic and one of the most exciting games in Orlando. LeVert figures to be the cornerstone of Brooklyn's offensive scheme against the Raptors as long as his body holds up. Despite working through injuries, he's averaged 25.0 points, 6.7 assists and 4.8 rebounds in bubble play.
