Nate Bjorkgren: Caris LeVert 'Getting Closer And Closer' To Return

[RealGM Wiretap]

Caris LeVert could reportedly return to the Indiana Pacers lineup during their three-game road trip beginning on Friday.

"Caris LeVert played in practice today. He's getting closer and closer, it won't be too much longer," said Nate Bjorkgren.

LeVert has been out since undergoing surgery to treat renal cell carcinoma of his left kidney.

Levert is averaging 18.5 points and 6 assists on the season.

Fantastic news. So happy for Caris. I was really worried when they found that mass in his kidney. Pacers have an exciting core to build around in Sabonis, Caris, Brogdon and Turner.
