Indiana confirmed the news on their social media on Monday via post in which they’ve wished LeVert “all the best in Cleveland.”

The Pacers have been looking to reshuffle their roster for a while, so trading LeVert isn’t shocking. Indiana receives healthy draft compensation while also getting some money off their books next season with Rubio’s expiring contract. The team is expected to remain active ahead of the NBA trade deadline and has already shown willingness to entertain offers for All-Star Domantas Sabonis and talented big Myles Turner.

The Cavs, on the other hand, add another talented player to their young core. Caris LeVert played well when taking the floor for the Pacers this season and is currently averaging 18.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game in 2021-22. Cleveland expects LeVert to give them a scoring boost moving forward and help them continue their postseason push. The franchise also has long-term plans for the 27-year-old and reportedly plans to sign him to an extension in the offseason. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers has been performing above all expectations this season and is currently fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 33-21 record. The Cavaliers are also just one game behind the top-seeded Miami Heat.

Although the Nets failed to disclose further details of the deal, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that LeVert signed a three-year extension worth $52.5 million. This new contract will keep him in Brooklyn until the summer of 2023.

“Caris personifies what it means to be a Brooklyn Net, and we firmly believe his best basketball is in front of him,” – said Nets’ general manager Sean Marks in a statement. “The growth he has displayed in his first three seasons is a testament to his tireless work ethic, along with an unrelenting will to maximize his talents and achieve team success. Our entire organization is excited to continue to have Caris as one of the leaders of our program moving forward.”

Caris LeVert was drafted 20^th overall in 2016 NBA Draft by Indiana Pacers but ended up being traded to Brooklyn Nets shortly after. After a solid rookie season, in which he almost made the NBA All-Rookie team, he impressed in his sophomore year averaging 12.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game.

LeVert followed this up with breakthrough performances at the start of 2018/19, but his stellar season was limited to 40 games as he missed time with a severe leg injury. Still, he managed to contribute with 13.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game.

“It means a lot. When I got drafted, this was the vision. We try and maximize our potential…we’ve been working and can’t wait to get started.” – said LaVert following the extension signing.
