Two Pistons' injuries leave them questionable for Game 4 vs Cavaliers

The Detroit Pistons have two guards who are questionable ahead of their Game 4 contest against the Cavaliers on Monday.

The Detroit Pistons are facing some uncertainty as they prepare for a crucial Game 4 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night. Two key guards, Kevin Huerter and Caris LeVert, have both been listed as questionable, leaving fans and the team on edge ahead of the 8 p.m. tip-off at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

Huerter's potential return is a major storyline. The sharpshooter has been sidelined since suffering a left adductor strain during a first-round Game 3 loss to the Orlando Magic on April 25. That injury has kept him out for six consecutive games, and his absence has been felt in the Pistons' backcourt. Getting Huerter back would provide a much-needed boost, especially with the series now shifting to Cleveland with the Cavaliers holding momentum after a 116-109 win in Game 3.

LeVert's status is also in question due to a right heel contusion. He played 17 minutes off the bench in that Game 3 loss, contributing six points and four steals. Over nine postseason appearances, LeVert has averaged 12.8 minutes, 3.0 points, and 2.1 rebounds per game. While his numbers may not jump off the page, his defensive energy and veteran presence have been valuable for Detroit's second unit.

With the series tied or the Cavaliers leading depending on how you look at it, every player's health matters. The Pistons will need all hands on deck to keep their playoff hopes alive. Here's a look at the remaining schedule:

Game 4: at Cleveland, Monday, May 11, 8:00 p.m. (NBC/Peacock)
x-Game 5: at Detroit, Wednesday, May 13, TBD
x-Game 6: at Cleveland, Friday, May 15, TBD
x-Game 7: at Detroit, Sunday, May 17, TBD

As tip-off approaches, keep an eye on the injury report—these two guards could be the difference-makers in a pivotal playoff matchup.
