Livers (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Livers is a late addition to the injury report, which generally isn't a good sign. His potential absence would likely give Jordan Goodwin a chance to get his minutes up into the 30s versus Oklahoma City.

Livers ended with three points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one block over 20 minutes during Thursday's 133-98 win over Indiana.

With the Suns running the Pacers out of the building, Livers was able to see expanded run in garbage time. Livers is on the outside looking in as far as the nightly rotation goes, so most fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire with confidence.

Livers (hip) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

After missing Sunday's game against the Spurs due to a hip issue, Livers will play Tuesday. However, this won't have a significant impact from a fantasy perspective, as he's averaging only 9.3 minutes per game this season.

Livers (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

If Livers can't give it a go Tuesday, that'll mark his second straight game on the sidelines. However, he's not a large enough part of the rotation for his playing status to impact fantasy hoops.

Livers (hip) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Livers (hip) is doubtful for Sunday's game against San Antonio.

Livers suffered a hip contusion during Friday's game against Utah and didn't return to the contest after sustaining the injury. If Livers winds up sitting out Sunday, look for Rasheer Fleming or Nigel Hayes-Davis to see an uptick in minutes

Livers made his second appearance of the campaign Monday with Dillon Brooks sidelined by a groin issue. Livers, who is on a two-way contract, is pretty far down the depth chart in Phoenix. It's likely that he gets some G League reps soon once Brooks gets the green light to return.

Livers (hip) is slated to sign a two-way contract with the Suns, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Tuesday.

Livers will return to the NBA after missing all of last season while recovering from hip surgery. In 2023-24, Livers averged 5.0 points and 2.1 rebounds in 20.4 minutes per game over 23 regular-season appearances with the Pistons. The 2021 second-round pick isn't guaranteed a role with the NBA club, but there'll be plenty of opportunities for a Phoenix team that's in flux after trading Kevin Durant to Houston this offseason.

Livers (hip) underwent a hip resurfacing procedure Oct. 18th following two years of hip troubles, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Livers is currently a free agent, but the 26-year-old's rehabilitation process will likely span the majority of the 2024-25 campaign. A more concrete timeline could emerge in coming months for the former Piston and Wizard.

The Wizards waived Livers (hip) on Friday.

The transaction opened up a spot on the 15-man roster for guard Jared Butler, who was upgraded from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract. After being acquired from the Pistons on Jan. 14, Livers never appeared for the Wizards before being shut down for the season in February due to joint capsule inflammation in his right hip. Livers was already set to be a free agent this offseason, so the Wizards will give him a head start on finding his next stop.

Livers (hip) has been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season.

Livers has been sidelined since mid-January due to joint capsule inflammation in his right hip, and he'll be unavailable down the stretch. He'll now shift his focus toward recovering ahead of the 2024-25 season, but the Wizards announced Monday that Livers' injury will be treated conservatively.

Livers hasn't played since Jan. 12 due to right hip inflammation. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Dallas.

Livers (hip) will remain on the sidelines for Friday's game against the Celtics.

Livers still hasn't logged a single minute for the Wizards since landing in D.C. back in January, and there haven't been any positive updates, so he should be considered "out indefinitely." There are no fantasy implications to this report.

Livers (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus Utah.

This will be Livers' second straight game on the sidelines due to the hip issue, but even if he were active, he wouldn't be in the rotation. Livers belongs on the waiver wire just about everywhere.

Livers (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Jazz.

Livers is in danger of missing his second straight game Thursday due to right hip soreness. However, Livers is unlikely to receive playing time even if upgraded to available.

Livers (hip) will not play Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Livers has been a complete non-factor in the Wizards' rotation since arriving in Washington, so there are no fantasy implications to him sitting out Wednesday's game.

Livers (trade pending) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Knicks.

Livers appears ready to make his debut Thursday after being traded from the Pistons to the Wizards on Sunday. Livers will likely compete for bench minutes at the forward position for Washington.

Livers (recently traded) won't make his Wizards' debut Monday against the Pistons, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Livers and Bagley were traded to the Wizards by Detroit on Sunday, but they still need to travel to Washington and pass physicals before they can suit up for their new team. Robbins relays that Livers and Bagley could make their debuts as soon as Thursday's matchup versus the Knicks.

Livers has been traded alongside Marvin Bagley and two second-round picks to the Wizards in exchange for Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Livers has averaged 20.4 minutes of action across 23 appearances and six starts for Detroit this season, although he has bottomed out at a career worst 28.6 clip from deep. He'll now join a Wizards wing cast consisting of Corey Kispert, Bilal Coulibaly and Deni Avdija, likely setting him up to reprise a similar, rotational role in his new city.

Livers will come off the bench for Friday's game against Houston, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.

Livers has struggled lately, as he's played less than 17 minutes in two straight games with a combined nine points. Kevin Knox will replace Livers in the first unit after a strong showing Wednesday against the Spurs.

Livers notched 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 154-148 overtime loss to the Jazz.

Livers moved into the starting lineup Wednesday, logging a season-high 36 minutes. Although he has been able to carve out a somewhat consistent role this season, Livers has barely been inside the top 400 in standard leagues. Subsequently, there is no reason to consider picking him up, even in deeper formats.

Livers will enter the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Livers will take Kevin Knox's place Wednesday to make his first start since Nov. 30. In that start, Livers played 27 minutes but was limited to just six points, four rebounds and one assist.

Livers posted nine points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block over 23 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime loss to the Celtics.

Livers didn't appear off the bench in the Pistons' last two games, but he saw ample playing time during Thursday's overtime loss. He converted multiple three-pointers for the fifth time this year but fell just short of scoring in double figures. Despite Thursday's role, Livers' recent usage suggests that he isn't a reliable fantasy option at this point.

Livers registered eight points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 17 minutes during Monday's 131-123 loss to Indiana.

Livers confidently stepped into his two made threes, but he remains a fringe component of the Pistons' offense. The 25-year-old is attempting 70.5 percent of his shots from beyond the arc, profiling mostly as a floor spacer for Detroit.

Livers is not starting against the Cavaliers on Saturday, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Livers got the start against the Knicks on Thursday, but it was just a one-time thing, it seems, as he'll play with the second unit in this one. Jaden Ivey will start alongside Killian Hayes and Cade Cunningham in a three-guard lineup next to Isaiah Stewart and Jalen Duren.

Livers is in the starting lineup against the Knicks on Thursday, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

The Pistons are tweaking their first unit, and Livers will be part of the starting five to provide a boost on the offensive side of the ball. Livers will start alongside Killian Hayes, Cade Cunningham, Isaiah Stewart and Jalen Duren.

Livers (ankle) recorded six points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes in Monday's 107-103 loss to the Nuggets.

Though Livers wasn't able to find his shooting touch anywhere but the free-throw line, the fact that he received more than 20 minutes in his season debut bodes well for his chances of holding down a rotation spot for at least the short term. The Pistons' wing and frontcourt ranks will become more crowded when Jalen Duren (ankle) and Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) are back in action, so Livers appears more likely to see his playing time decrease than increase once Detroit draws closer to full strength.

Livers (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Nuggets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

While Livers will face a minutes restriction Monday, he'll be able to make his season debut after missing the start of the year due to a high-ankle sprain. Coach Monty Williams didn't specify the nature of Livers' minutes restriction, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the 25-year-old ramp up his workload in the near future following his lengthy absence.

Livers (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Nuggets.

Livers hasn't played yet this season due to a high-ankle sprain. However, he could make his season debut Monday. The Pistons remain shorthanded, so if he's cleared, Livers should be able to carve out a rotational role.

Livers (ankle) will not play Sunday against Toronto.

Livers is nearing his season debut after suffering a high-ankle sprain during the preseason. His next opportunity to suit up will be Monday against Denver.

Livers (ankle) was upgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against Toronto, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Livers' ascending to a questionable designation aligns with logging a full practice Thursday. His return appears to be near as Detroit begins a back-to-back set Sunday and Monday against Toronto and Denver, respectively.

Livers (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Livers doesn't yet have a timetable to return to game action, but his full participation in practice is an undeniable step in the right direction. He sustained a Grade 3 left ankle sprain in early October and was initially slated to be re-evaluated in late November. He'll presumably need to work on his conditioning before he's in the mix to make his season debut.

Livers (ankle) is making progress in his recovery and will be re-evaluated in 4 weeks, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Livers is three weeks removed from suffering a Grade 3 left ankle sprain. His current trajectory places his return on the later end of his recovery timeline, but it appears that his healing process is going smoothly thus far.

Livers is expected miss six to eight weeks with a Grade III left ankle sprain, Omari Sankofa of the Detroit Free Press reports.

This is a brutal blow for Livers as he had a lot to prove during training camp. With so much more depth in Detroit this season, Livers will struggle to crack the rotation and this doesn't injury will set him back.

The Pistons exercised Livers' $1.84 million team option for the 2023-24 season Friday.

Livers appeared in 52 games with the Pistons last year and averaged 6.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 23.0 minutes per game. Although he missed the final three games of the year due to an ankle injury, he's on the team's Summer League roster and should be able to suit up.

Livers (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Livers will miss the Piston's regular-season finale due to a sprained right ankle. With the Pistons severely shorthanded for the contest, Jared Rhoden and Buddy Boeheim could be in line for large workloads. Livers will finish the 2022-23 campaign with averages of 6.7 points and 2.8 rebounds over 23.0 minutes per game.

Livers (ankle) is out for Friday's game versus the Pacers.

Livers will miss his second straight game Friday after being downgraded from questionable to out with a right ankle sprain. With Eugene Omoruyi (ankle) also out, R.J. Hampton, Buddy Boeheim and Jared Rhoden could see extended minutes. Livers' next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Chicago.

Livers (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Pacers.

Livers is in danger of missing his second straight game Friday due to a right ankle sprain. With Eugene Omoruyi (ankle) also questionable, Detroit's starting small forward spot could be up for grabs.

Livers (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Nets.

Livers has been downgraded from doubtful to out Wednesday with right ankle soreness. Eugene Omoruyi will likely receive extended minutes in his absence. Livers' next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Indiana.

Livers possesses a doubtful tag to suit up for Wednesday's clash with the Nets due to a right ankle sprain.

Livers has started each of his last 13 appearances for the Pistons, but he's also missed five games in just over a month. Another absence looks to be on tap for Livers, and he has just two games remaining in the regular season to take the floor if that's the case. With Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) and Marvin Bagley (concussion) also set to sit, the Pistons will have to dig deep in the depth chart for frontcourt minutes Wednesday.

Livers chipped in 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one block in 29 minutes during Friday's 121-115 loss to Houston.

Livers hasn't made a ton of noise since returning from injury, but he's getting a lot of run for the Pistons. Over the past four games, he's averaging 8.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 three-pointers. If he can chip in some defensive stats, he'll suddenly become a very intriguing fantasy player.

Livers provided 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Friday's 118-97 loss to the Raptors.

Livers was back on the floor after a four-game absence, sliding straight into the starting lineup. With the Pistons handing a ton of minutes to their fringe guys, Livers could be in for a consistent role down the stretch, making him a viable target, even in standard formats. His skillset is somewhat limited but the fact he could see upwards of 30 minutes on a nightly basis could be enticing enough for some.

Livers (hip) will start against the Raptors on Friday.

Rodney McGruder (left foot sprain) has been on fire for the Pistons, but he's sitting out this contest. Livers will likely slot right into McGruder's spot in the rotation, and he did play very well at the beginning of March before injuring his hip.

Livers (hip) is available for Friday's game against Toronto.

Livers was probable for Friday's matchup, so his status doesn't come as a significant surprise. However, he's missed the past four games, so it's possible his playing time is monitored against the Raptors. Over his last six appearances, the 24-year-old has averaged 11.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 31.7 minutes per game.

Livers (hip) is probable for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Livers has missed the last four games due to a sore right hip, but he'll likely be able to return to the court Friday. He's averaged 11.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 31.7 minutes per game over six appearances in March, but it's possible his playing time is monitored if he's cleared to suit up against Toronto.

Livers (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

Tuesday will mark the fourth consecutive game on the sidelines for Livers, which will continue to lead to more minutes for Rodney McGruder, Eugene Omoruyi and R.J. Hampton. McGruder has been hot over the past four games, posting averages of 17.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 4.0 triples and 1.5 steals per contest on 43.9 percent shooting, so he's someone to consider as a streamer. Livers' next opportunity to play will come Friday in Toronto.

Livers (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Hawks.

Livers has missed three straight games due to right hip soreness, but he'll have a chance to return Tuesday. However, if he remains sidelined, Rodney McGruder, Eugene Omoruyi and R.J. Hampton (back) will remain candidates for increased roles.

Livers (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Heat.

Livers will miss a third straight game due to right hip soreness. Rodney McGruder, Eugene Omoruyi and R.J. Hampton (back) continue to be candidates for increased roles in Livers' prolonged absence.

Livers (hip) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against Miami.

Livers didn't play Thursday against the Nuggets and logged a limited practice Saturday, so all signs point to him being a game-time call for Sunday's matchup. The former Michigan standout has missed Detroit's last two games, and if he can't go Sunday, then R.J. Hampton would probably remain in the starting lineup.

Livers (hip) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Livers has missed a pair of games with soreness in his right hip, which has opened up opportunities for the likes of Eugene Omoruyi and Rodney McGruder with the Pistons having a slew of injuries outside of Livers. If Livers is able to go Sunday and the Pistons remain without other key players, he could be forced into a larger role.

Livers (hip) is out for Thursday's game versus the Nuggets.

Livers will miss his second straight game Thursday due to right hip soreness. R.J. Hampton was inserted into the starting lineup in his absence. Livers will have two days to recover before Sunday's matchup with Miami.

Livers is out for Tuesday's matchup against the Wizards due to right hip soreness.

Livers had a poor showing Monday against the Pacers and left early due to the hip issue, which will prevent him from playing Tuesday. Detroit's injury report is excessive, and Livers' added absence will likely result in even more minutes for Rodney McGruder, Eugene Omoruyi and Jared Rhoden.

Livers registered 18 points (7-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and four steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 loss to Indiana.

Fueled by the absence of Jaden Ivey (health and safety protocols), Livers recorded a season-high 18 points on huge usage. The Pacers offense was less organized sans Tyrese Haliburton (knee), but Livers' defensive acumen isn't off brand. He's been a subtly solid two-way contributor this season, signaling real value on nights where the Pistons are shorthanded.

Livers chipped in a season-high 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 39 minutes during Monday's 110-104 loss to the Trail Blazers.

The Pistons deployed a balanced offense with seven different players scoring in double digits, but they didn't have an answer for Damian Lillard. Livers led that group, and his 17 points were a season high. The 24-year-old forward has started three straight games, and he'll continue to see big minutes and usage as long as Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (hip) remain sidelined.

Livers (ankle) will start Saturday's action against the Cavaliers, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

After a one-game absence, Livers gets the nod at small forward with Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) sidelined. In 10 starts this season, Livers has averaged 6.3 points and 1.8 rebounds in 21.5 minutes.

Livers (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

Livers will return following a one-game absence. He could see extra run due to Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) being sidelined.

Livers (ankle) is probable for Saturday's action at Cleveland.

After a one-game absence, Livers practiced Friday and should be good to go Saturday. With Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) out, Livers could see extra run. In Livers' nine February appearances before suffering the injury, he averaged 5.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 22.6 minutes.

Head coach Dwane Casey said Livers (ankle) practiced Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Livers was absent for Wednesday's loss to the Bulls due to a left ankle sprain he suffered Monday. However, he appears to be trending in the right direction and could return to action Saturday in Cleveland, but his official status for that contest won't be known until the Pistons release their next injury report.

Livers (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

As expected, Livers has been downgraded from doubtful to out, joining Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Livers on the sideline. With the frontcourt depleted, expect James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley to garner major roles versus Chicago.

Livers (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls.

Livers exited Monday's game against the Hornets due to a sprained ankle and failed to practice Tuesday, so it's unsurprising that he'll likely miss Wednesday's game. On a positive note, Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) is probable to return following a one-game absence.

Livers (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Livers left Monday's loss to the Hornets in the first half and didn't return. He was one of five Pistons who didn't practice Tuesday, so Detroit may have a skeleton crew available versus the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Livers won't return to Monday's game against the Hornets due to a left ankle sprain, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Livers left the contest in the first half and was quickly ruled out after being evaluated further. With the Pistons already thin in the frontcourt, look for James Wiseman, Rodney McGruder and Marvin Bagley to see additional chances the rest of the way.

Livers will move into the first unit for Monday's matchup with the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Detroit will be missing Jalen Duran (ankle), Isaiah Stewart (hip), Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) and Jaden Ivey (personal), so there will be a ton of opportunity for Livers in this one, making him someone to think about as a streamer. Joining him in the first unit will be Killian Hayes, Rodney McGruder, Alec Burks and James Wiseman.

Livers closed with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Saturday's 95-91 loss to the Raptors.

Livers was efficient from the field in this one and scored nine of his 11 points from beyond the arc. He also recorded a block for his second straight game. Double-digit scoring performances have been rare for the Michigan product of late, as he's scored 10 or more points in only three of his last 17 appearances.

Livers notched 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 138-131 double-overtime victory over the Spurs.

Livers notched his first double-double of the season, making the most of what were a season-high 40 minutes. With Saddiq Bey potentially on his way to Atlanta, Livers figures to step into a larger role moving forward. While he doesn't have a particularly fantasy-friendly game, a sizeable role should at least put him on the radar in deeper formats.

Livers (ankle) will come off the bench Thursday against the Nets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Livers was initially ruled as questionable for Thursday's matchup with a right ankle sprain. With Alec Burks in the starting lineup, Livers will see minutes off the bench alongside Isaiah Stewart.

Livers (ankle) will be available for Thursday's matchup in Brooklyn.

Livers should fill a sizable role for the Pistons but may be bound for the bench again Thursday, with Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) also receiving the go-ahead to retake the floor. Regardless of his starting status, Livers doesn't produce enough on a nightly basis to move the needle in most fantasy formats

Livers (ankle) is trending toward taking the floor Thursday against the Nets, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Initially questionable on the injury report, Livers looks to be doing well with his ankle and should play a sizable role again Thursday after a brief departure from Monday's game versus the Bucks. Livers has started two of the last three games, though the expected return of Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) may result in Livers returning to a bench role.

Livers is questionable for Thursday's game against Brooklyn due to a right ankle sprain.

Livers went to the locker room Monday against the Bucks but was able to return to the game and tallied nine points, a rebound, an assist and a steal in 22 minutes. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Thursday after being diagnosed with a right ankle sprain, but if he's available, his role will likely depend on whether Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) is cleared to return.

Livers (foot) accumulated nine points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 150-130 loss to the Bucks.

Livers drew the start Monday and scored six points in 11 minutes before leaving in the first half with a foot injury. However, he was able to return in the second half, so it appears like the issue was minor. As long as Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) remains out, Livers will be a candidate for increased playing time in Detroit's frontcourt.

Livers went to the locker room early after sustaining a foot injury during the first half of Monday's contest against the Bucks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

The exact extent of the injury is unknown at this time. Prior to exiting, Livers had recorded six points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and one steal across 11 minutes.

Livers will start in Monday's game against the Bucks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Livers will draw the start in place of Killian Hayes (shoulder) alongside Jaden Ivey, Bojan Bogdanovic, Saddiq Bey and Jalen Duren. Over eight starts this season, Livers has posted 6.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 23.3 minutes per game.

Livers finished with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes in Sunday's 117-104 loss to the Knicks.

Livers picked up his eighth start of the season Sunday, but it came largely out of necessity while Detroit was without five rotation players due to injury. Assuming at least one of Bojan Bogdanovic (illness) and Jalen Duren (ankle) is back in action for Thursday's game against the Bulls in France, Livers will be a prime candidate to move the bench and see his minutes get cut in half.

Livers will start Sunday's matchup against the Knicks, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

With Bojan Bogdanovic (illness) out, Livers will draw his first start since Dec. 1. Across his seven previous starts, Livers has averaged 6.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 20.9 minutes per game.

Livers (shoulder) logged 18 minutes off the bench and finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in Wednesday's 135-118 win over the Timberwolves.

Though the Pistons were without both members of their starting frontcourt (Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart) as well as Marvin Bagley (hand), Livers handled only a light role off the second unit in his return from a 20-game absence. Considering that Saddiq Bey (31 points on 10-for-16 shooting) and Nerlens Noel (four blocks, three steals) both performed well in place of Stewart (shoulder) and Duren (ankle), respectively, Livers may not see his role grow much even if Detroit remains shorthanded in the frontcourt Friday against the Pelicans.

Livers (shoulder) will return to action Thursday versus the Bulls.

Livers was already listed as probable on the initial injury report, but he's officially set to return following a month-plus on the sidelines due to a right shoulder sprain. Given the lengthy absence, Livers could face a minutes restriction out the gate, though he may have been able to work on conditioning somewhat with an upper-body injury. The Pistons are short on depth in the frontcourt with Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) and Jalen Duren (ankle) out, which could allow Livers to handle as many minutes as his conditioning allows.

Livers (shoulder) is probable for Wednesday's game versus Minnesota.

Livers will likely make his return Wednesday after missing 20 straight games due to a right shoulder sprain. Fantasy managers should expect the 24-year-old forward to play limited minutes as he works his way back into game shape. Livers

Livers (shoulder) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the 76ers.

Livers will miss his 20th straight game Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out. However, his original injury status suggests that his return to action is coming soon. Livers' next chance to suit up is Wednesday's game versus Minnesota.

Livers (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.

Livers has missed the last 19 games due to a right shoulder sprain, but it's encouraging that he's being listed as questionable Tuesday rather than being immediately ruled out. If he's available against the 76ers, he'll likely face a minutes restriction.

Livers (shoulder) is out for Sunday's matchup with the the 76ers.

Livers will miss his 19th straight game Sunday with a right shoulder sprain. Despite being expected to play before the end of 2022, his return timetable is uncertain.

Livers (shoulder) is out for Friday's game versus the Spurs.

Livers' recovery is taking longer than expected, as he hasn't played since Dec. 1 due to a right shoulder sprain. The second-year forward's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Philadelphia.

Livers (shoulder) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors.

Livers has missed the last 16 games with a right shoulder sprain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with San Antonio.

Livers (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Portland.

Livers hasn't played since Dec. 1 due to a right shoulder sprain. It's currently unclear when he'll suit up again, but his next chance to do so will arrive Wednesday against Golden State.

Livers (shoulder) won't play in Saturday's game versus Minnesota.

Livers hasn't played since Dec. 1 due to a right shoulder sprain. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him back in the lineup until the Pistons give an update on his injury status.

Livers (shoulder) is out for Friday's matchup with the Bulls.

Livers will miss his 14th straight game due to a right shoulder sprain. His next chance to play is Saturday's contest versus Minnesota.

Livers (shoulder) won't play in Wednesday's game versus Orlando.

Livers hasn't played since Dec. 1 due to a right shoulder sprain. While the second-year forward was expected to return this week, he will have to wait until at least Friday's game versus Chicago to do so.

Head coach Dwane Casey indicated Friday that the team anticipates Livers (shoulder) returning next week, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

A report from last week indicated Livers would be re-evaluated in 2-to-3 weeks, and he seemingly has a chance to return in the front end of that window or even beat it altogether. Livers had claimed a starting role in the seven games prior to his multi-week absence, but he's likely to return in a role off the bench with a minutes restriction.

Livers aggravated the AC joint in his right shoulder Thursday and will be reevaluated in 2-3 weeks, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Livers will be out for an extended time after already missing the last six games due to a shoulder injury. Jalen Duren and Kevin Knox should continue to see extended minutes in his absence.

Livers (shoulder) is out for Friday's game against the the Kings.

Livers will miss his seventh straight game Friday due to a right shoulder sprain. Livers' next chance to suit up will be Sunday's matchup with the Nets.

Livers (shoulder) won't make the trip to Charlotte for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Livers hasn't appeared in any of the last five games and will make that six with Wednesday's contest off the table. His next opportunity to return arrives Friday back home versus the Kings.

Livers (shoulder) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Livers will miss his fifth consecutive game due to a sore right shoulder, but he appears to be close to a return nonetheless. Detroit upgraded Livers to questionable ahead of Sunday's contest, only to downgrade him following the team's morning shootaround. His absence for at least one more game should allow Kevin Knox to maintain a spot in the rotation.

Livers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Lakers, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Livers has missed four straight games due to a right shoulder sprain and his status looks to be up in the air for Sunday. Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart should continue to see more minutes if he were to sit out.

Livers (shoulder) is out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Livers has been downgraded from doubtful to out Friday due to a right shoulder sprain. The second-year forward is set to miss his fourth straight game, but his original designation is a good sign that he could return to action soon. Livers' next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Lakers.

Livers (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Coach Dwayne Casey said Livers would be sidelined for "a little while" on Dec. 3 due to a right shoulder sprain but failed to offer any specific timetable. However, it looks like Livers will be approaching a return to the hardwood considering he was upgraded to doubtful for Friday's contest. When he returns, he will likely regain his starting power forward spot from Saddiq Bey.

Head coach Dwane Casey mentioned Saturday that Livers (shoulder) will miss some time, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Casey didn't offer an official timetable, but it seems Livers isn't viewed as day-to-day at this point. The team may provide more details on Livers once he begins to take steps toward a return. The injury comes at an inopportune time, as Livers secured a spot in the starting lineup over the past seven games after previously appearing off the bench. Even so, he's not a significant fantasy asset, checking in outside the top 200 in both per-game and per-36 fantasy production. Jaden Ivey figures to retake his spot in the starting five beginning Sunday, while Isaiah Stewart, Bojan Bogdanovic and Saddiq Bey are among the candidates to absorb Livers' playing time.

Livers (shoulder) won't return to Thursday's contest against the Mavericks, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Livers was forced out of Thursday's contest early in the first quarter due to a right shoulder sprain. Since the forward isn't returning, Saddiq Bey and Bojan Bogdanovic will likely see an uptick in minutes. While the severity of the injury is uncertain at this point, Livers could next return to action Sunday against the Grizzlies.

Livers (shoulder) headed to the locker room Thursday against the Mavericks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Livers appeared to suffer a shoulder injury during the first quarter of action against Dallas. The forward managed to play through the possession, but he exited to the locker room immediately after the play. Expect Saddiq Bey and Bojan Bogdanovic to see extended minutes if Livers can't return.

Livers produced seven points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 loss to Cleveland.

Livers started for the fifth straight game but once again failed to deliver anything close to fantasy value. While the defensive output was nice, his inability to score, grab rebounds or pass the ball does weigh down his overall short-term appeal. His role figures to scale back once the Pistons start getting healthy bodies back on the floor, meaning those in standard leagues can continue to seek alternative options when it comes to waiver targets.

Livers will start Sunday's game against the Kings, James Edwards of The Athletic reports.

With Saddiq Bey (ankle), Isaiah Stewart (toe) and Cade Cunningham (leg) all sidelined, the Pistons are down three starters, so coach Dwane Casey will be forced to dig deeper into his rotation. The Pistons will start with Killian Hayes and Jaden Ivey in the backcourt, while Bojan Bogdanovic, Isaiah Livers and Marvin Bagley comprise the rest of the starting lineup. It will be Livers' first start since Game 82 of last season.

Livers supplied 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 22 minutes during Friday's 121-112 loss to the Knicks.

Livers has maintained a steady workload all season, ranging from 15 to 22 minutes in all but one 24-minute outing. However, he's seen a slight uptick to 20.5 per game over the last four, slightly higher than his 18.9 season average. Livers took advantage of his increased workload Friday, supplying his first multi-block game of the year in addition to his third double-digit scoring effort. He's, at best, an end-of-the-fantasy-bench option in some fantasy leagues but could be worth monitoring if injuries pop up in the Pistons' frontcourt.

Livers amassed 11 points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one block in 21 minutes during Friday's 112-88 loss to the Cavaliers.

Livers unexpectedly offered up some scoring production in this one, doing the majority of his damage from beyond the arc. He also swatted away his second shot of the young season. Livers should continue to come off the bench behind Bojan Bogdanovic and is averaging 6.0 points and 2.1 in 18.4 minutes through eight games.

Livers registered 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 118-113 loss to the Hawks.

Livers produced an intriguing line in the loss, reminding everyone why he warranted a small amount of hype in the preseason. The arrival of Bojan Bogdanovic did extinguish that fire heading into drafts but maybe, just maybe, there is enough meat on the bone for him to have some value. At this stage, he is more of a name to watch but should his minutes continue to hold at around 25 per night, he could be worth a sneaky grab.

Livers racked up eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals over 16 minutes during Saturday's 124-115 loss to the Pacers.

Livers saw action for the first time this season, turning in a subdues, yet intriguing line. Prior to the addition of Bojan Bogdanovic, Livers was seen as a potential late-round flier. Unfortunately, it does look as though his playing time is going to be limited, at least for the short term. While he is certainly a priority at this point, he is someone to watch moving forward, especially as the Pistons shift into lottery ball mode later in the season.

Livers (hip) is off the injury report for Saturday's game at Indiana.

After missing the first two games of the season due to a hip injury, Livers should enter the rotation Saturday. Kevin Knox is at the biggest risk of losing minutes.

Livers (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Livers missed the Pistons' final two preseason games due to right hip soreness, and he'll sit out a second consecutive game to begin the regular season. He returned to practice in a full capacity last weekend, but it's unclear whether he'll be available Saturday against Indiana.

Livers (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Magic.

Livers was sidelined for the Pistons' final two preseason games due to a sore right hip, but he returned to full participation in practice Sunday, suggesting he'd be fine for the regular season opener. However, Detroit with err on the side of caution and keep the second-year forward sidelined for at least one game. Livers' next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Knicks.

Pistons head coach Dwane Casey said Livers (hip) participated in Sunday's practice, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

A sore right hip kept Livers from playing in the Pistons' final two preseason contests, but the injury doesn't look to be anything that will threaten his status for Wednesday's season opener with the Magic. Livers is expected to begin his second NBA season as a member of Detroit's second unit.

Coach Dwane Casey said Wednesday that he expects Livers (hip) to return sometime next week, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Livers has been dealing with a hip injury recently but hasn't yet been forced to miss any game action. Given Casey's update Wednesday, it seems likely that Livers will be held out for Thursday's preseason finale against Memphis, but he should be in the mix to play during the Pistons' regular-season opener against the Magic on Oct. 19.

Coach Dwayne Casey revealed Tuesday that Livers is working through a hip issue, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

Liver played 16 minutes in the team's last preseason contest, so this is likely a recent issue. It's unclear if the hip problem will prevent him from taking the floor Tuesday, but it's worth noting that he could be limited or absent from the preseason tilt.

Livers recorded 14 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 118-106 loss to Philadelphia.

Livers struggled to see the field for most of the season, but he was a bench option in March and started the final five games of the campaign. He averaged 9.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game during that five-game stretch and scored in double digits three times in that span.

Livers finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 43 minutes during Friday's 110-101 win over the Thunder.

With Marvin Bagley (hip) and Kelly Olynyk (rest) out, Livers drew the first start of his career and recorded season highs in points, rebounds and minutes. The rookie second-round pick also registered at least one steal and one block in the same game for the second time during the campaign. Livers has made just 15 appearances this season and is averaging 5.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18.7 minutes per game.

Livers will start at center for Friday's matchup with the Thunder.

Livers will be making the first start of his career. He has averaged just 5.1 points and 2.4 rebounds across 16.9 minutes in 14 games this season.

Livers (concussion) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Livers has missed the past four games due to a concussion. He began seeing an increased role beforehand, averaging 6.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 22.3 minutes across his past eight appearances.

Livers (concussion) won't play Tuesday against Brooklyn.

Livers will miss his fourth straight contest while dealing with a concussion. His next chance at a return arrives Thursday against the 76ers.

Livers (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

Livers will be forced to miss a third consecutive game due to a concussion. Kelly Olykyk and Braxton Key should see additional usage against New York.

Livers (concussion) will not play Friday against the Wizards.

Livers remains in the league's concussion protocols and will miss at least one more game. Prior to sustaining the concussion, he'd played double-digit minutes off the bench in eight straight contests.

Livers (concussion) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with Atlanta.

Livers will miss his first game since he was recalled from the G League's Motor City Cruise in late February. As a result, Rodney McGruder and Jamorko Pickett could see additional minutes against the Hawks. Livers' next chance to return will be Friday against the Wizards.

Livers is doubtful Wednesday against the Hawks due to a concussion.

It's possible, but unlikely, that Livers will feel good enough to play Wednesday. If he's out, more minutes could be in store for Rodney McGruder and Jamorko Pickett.

Livers provided 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 105-98 loss to Miami.

Livers came to play Tuesday, putting up career-high numbers in scoring, rebounds and three-pointers. Despite flashing some upside, his playing time is likely to be dependent on the availability of other players, notably Cade Cunningham. With that being said, he does appear to have moved ahead of some of the veterans in the rotation, and the Pistons do have a favorable schedule moving forward. Managers in deeper formats could do worse than taking a flier on Livers given the trajectory of the Pistons right now.

Livers finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and three steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 113-110 overtime win over the Hawks.

Appearing in his sixth career game, Livers had never exceed 13 minutes prior to putting forth easily the best game of his season Monday. It's a small sample size, but Livers nonetheless supplied his most well-rounded effort. Hamiduo Diallo (illness) didn't play Monday, which is certainly noteworthy in regard to Livers' future involvement.

Livers was recalled to the Pistons on Sunday.

Livers, who had been sidelined since Dec. 21 following surgery on his right foot, returned to action in the G League on Wednesday, totaling 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one steal and one block in 26 minutes. The rookie second-round pick has only made one appearance at the NBA level this season, so it's unlikely he cracks the rotation during his latest stint with Detroit.

Livers will begin the post-All-Star-break portion of the Pistons' schedule in the G League with the Motor City Cruise.

A foot injury has limited Livers to just one appearance for the Pistons this season, but coach Dwane Casey said Wednesday that he's hoping to get an extended look at the Michigan product down the stretch. "He's a guy we want to look at and evaluate, see how he fits in," Casey said of Livers, per Omari Sankofa of the Detroit Free Press. For now, the 2021 second-round pick will work in the G League, but it sounds like he'll get a chance to make an impact at the NBA level at some point over the next several weeks.

Livers (foot) has appeared in just one game this season and remains out indefinitely.

Even if Livers becomes available this season, it seems unlikely he'll play a significant role in the rotation.

Livers (foot) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Celtics.

The rookie second-round pick has been out for more than five weeks while he continues to recover from the right foot surgery he initially underwent early in 2021 while still in college. Livers will likely head to the G League's Motor City Cruise once he's considered healthy enough to resume playing.

Livers (foot) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Livers hasn't played in a game since Dec. 21, when he suited up for the Motor City Cruise in the G League Showcase. The second-round rookie out of Michigan has experienced an apparent setback in his recovery from the right foot surgery he underwent prior to being drafted, but he hasn't been shut down from activity entirely. Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reported Thursday that Livers was taking part in warmup drills with the Pistons during practice.

Livers (foot) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Livers hasn't made any appearances with the Pistons or the Motor City Cruise since Dec. 21, when he played for the latter club during the G League Showcase. His ongoing absence perhaps suggests that Livers has experienced a setback in his recovery from the right foot surgery he underwent in early 2021 during his final collegiate season at Michigan. Consider him week-to-week until the Pistons provide a formal update on his status.

Livers (foot) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Suns.

After undergoing surgery on his right foot early in 2021 during his final collegiate season at Michigan, Livers didn't make his NBA debut until Dec. 16, when he made a five-minute cameo off the bench in the Pistons' loss to the Pacers. Livers hasn't played since, as the rookie big man is apparently still dealing with residual soreness in his surgically repaired foot. The 23-year-old can be considered out indefinitely.

Livers is out for Thursday's game against the Heat due to return to competition reconditioning, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Livers (foot) won't play Friday against the Warriors.

Livers remains sidelined as he continues to ramp up his conditioning after undergoing foot surgery earlier this year. The rookie second-round pick appears close to making his NBA debut.

Livers (foot) won't play Wednesday against the Pacers.

Livers remains sidelined as he continues to ramp up his conditioning after undergoing foot surgery earlier this year. The rookie second-round pick appears to be on the verge of making his NBA debut.

Livers (foot) is on track to be cleared to fully return to practice, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

Livers has yet to start fully practicing with the Pistons after he underwent foot surgery to repair a fracture. The No. 42 overall pick out of Michigan has just been doing ball-handling and shooting drills thus far but is expected to progress to live work this week.
