Irving has only been able to suit up for 20 games this season. He's been great in his limited opportunities by averaging 27.4 points, 6.4 assists, and 5.2 rebounds when healthy. Unfortunately staying on the court has been his biggest issue and this recent injury leaves no timetable for a return. Luckily for the Nets, Caris LeVert has stepped in nicely in place of Irving. Over his five games as a starter he has recorded 24 points, 5.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals, and 0.4 blocks over 32.3 minutes. He's a must-own in all leagues, especially in the wake of Irving's news.
