Caris LeVert to Miss Saturday's Game With Foot Soreness

Cavaliers Guard Dealing with Plantar Fasciitis

LeVert Expected to Return Soon

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert will not play in Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic due to soreness in his left foot. The team announced the injury on Friday, stating that LeVert is dealing with plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis is a common foot injury that causes pain in the heel and arch of the foot. It is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot from the heel to the toes. The condition can be caused by a number of factors, including overuse, improper footwear, and obesity.

LeVert has been dealing with plantar fasciitis for several weeks, but the pain has recently worsened. He missed Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards due to the injury, and he is now expected to miss Saturday's game as well.

The Cavaliers are hopeful that LeVert will be able to return to action soon. He is currently undergoing treatment for the injury, and the team is monitoring his progress on a daily basis.

In LeVert's absence, the Cavaliers will likely start Darius Garland and Isaac Okoro in the backcourt. Garland is averaging 19.8 points and 8.2 assists per game this season, while Okoro is averaging 11.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.

The Cavaliers are currently 33-22 this season and are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. They are scheduled to face the Magic on Saturday night in Orlando.
