Cleveland — The Detroit Pistons may have a core player return from injury on Monday. Ahead of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Pistons have listed Kevin Huerter as questionable due to a left adductor strain.
Huerter originally suffered the injury during the Pistons’ Game 3 loss of the first-round series against the Orlando Magic, which took place at Kia Center on April 25. He has since missed the previous six games. Huerter’s possible return aligns with Caris LeVert’s injury status. In addition, LeVert was also listed as questionable for Game 4 due to a right heel contusion.
LeVert’s injury comes after he appeared in 17 minutes during the Pistons’ 116-109 Game 3 loss to the Cavaliers on Saturday. He came off the bench, contributing with six points and four steals. LeVert has appeared in nine games this postseason, averaging 12.8 minutes, 3.0 points and 2.1 rebounds.
