NBA Players React To Caris LeVert’s Horrific Leg Injury
Brooklyn Nets shooting star Caris LeVert suffered a horrific leg injury last night, against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It happened shortly before halftime and everyone on the court and in the arena was shocked. This silence is breathtakingly scary. You instantly know something very bad has happened.
I won’t add the footage of the actual injury and recommend not looking at the replay because his ankle completely turned the opposite direction. It was an injury very reminiscent of Paul George and Gordon Hayward’s gruesome injuries.
LeVert was having his breakout season and was on pace to become the season’s MIP. He averaged 18.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game, but will likely miss the reminder of the season. Other NBA players were shocked as well and send their prayers and messages to Caris.
I HATE injuries! Prayers up for Caris LeVert!

Sight of Caris LeVert's leg injury in Minnesota shook everyone on court. He has rapidly emerged into the cornerstone player of Nets rebuild — and been spectacular this season. He fought foot injuries at U of Michigan. He's been everything they've wanted in a young player.
