Is Caris Levert untradeable? When will Max Strus return for the Cavaliers? + Ty Jerome's mini slump
Description
Caris Levert hit six 3s against the Brooklyn Nets in an easy win for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and his recent play may make him untouchable in trade conversations at the deadline. Max Strus was rumored to be returning to the lineup last Friday against the Wizards, but he still hasn't touched the floor yet for Cleveland. Kenny Atkinson isn't too worried about Ty Jerome's recent slump, but should he be? Plus, does the NBA have a ratings issue and can it be fixed? Evan Mobley scored 21 points, Caris LeVert added 19 and the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled to a 130-101 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night. Donovan Mitchell had 18 points and five assists, and Georges Niang had 17 points and nine rebounds for Cleveland (23-4), which won its second straight and for the sixth time in seven games. Cameron Johnson led Brooklyn with 22 points and five assists, and Day’Ron Sharpe had 15 points and seven rebounds. The Nets (10-16) lost their third straight and fell for the sixth time in seven games. Kenny Atkinson returned as a head coach to Brooklyn with the Cavaliers. The 57-year-old led the Nets for four seasons.
