Indiana Pacers wing Caris LeVert, a pivotal component of the blockbuster James Harden trade, is out indefinitely after an MRI revealed a small mass on his left kidney during his pre-trade physical, his new team announced Saturday.
LeVert is still awaiting further medical tests, per the Pacers.
Part of the haul that the Brooklyn Nets sent in return for Harden, the 26-year-old LeVert was routed from Houston to Indiana in exchange for Pacers star Victor Oladipo. He hadn’t yet made his debut with Indiana, and could now have to wait a while to do so.
