Likely to play Saturday Livers (ankle) is probable for Saturday's action at Cleveland.

Impact After a one-game absence, Livers practiced Friday and should be good to go Saturday. With Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) out, Livers could see extra run. In Livers' nine February appearances before suffering the injury, he averaged 5.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 22.6 minutes.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Friday Head coach Dwane Casey said Livers (ankle) practiced Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Livers was absent for Wednesday's loss to the Bulls due to a left ankle sprain he suffered Monday. However, he appears to be trending in the right direction and could return to action Saturday in Cleveland, but his official status for that contest won't be known until the Pistons release their next injury report.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Livers (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

Impact As expected, Livers has been downgraded from doubtful to out, joining Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (hip) on the sideline. With the frontcourt depleted, expect James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley to garner major roles versus Chicago.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful Wednesday Livers (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls.

Impact Livers exited Monday's game against the Hornets due to a sprained ankle and failed to practice Tuesday, so it's unsurprising that he'll likely miss Wednesday's game. On a positive note, Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) is probable to return following a one-game absence.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unable to practice Tuesday Livers (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Livers left Monday's loss to the Hornets in the first half and didn't return. He was one of five Pistons who didn't practice Tuesday, so Detroit may have a skeleton crew available versus the Bulls on Wednesday.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Departs with ankle sprain Livers won't return to Monday's game against the Hornets due to a left ankle sprain, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Livers left the contest in the first half and was quickly ruled out after being evaluated further. With the Pistons already thin in the frontcourt, look for James Wiseman, Rodney McGruder and Marvin Bagley to see additional chances the rest of the way.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Livers will start Monday's matchup with the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Impact Detroit will be missing Jalen Duren (ankle), Isaiah Stewart (hip), Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) and Jaden Ivey (personal), so there will be a ton of opportunities for Livers in this one, making him someone to think about as a streamer. Joining him in the first unit will be Killian Hayes, Rodney McGruder, Alec Burks and James Wiseman.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in double figures Livers closed with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Saturday's 95-91 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Livers was efficient from the field in this one and scored nine of his 11 points from beyond the arc. He's also recorded a block in back-to-back games. Double-digit scoring performances have been rare for the Michigan product of late, as he's scored 10 or more points in only three of his last 17 appearances.

FEBRUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sneaky double-double Friday Livers notched 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 138-131 double-overtime victory over the Spurs.

Impact Livers notched his first double-double of the season, making the most of what were a season-high 40 minutes. With Saddiq Bey potentially on his way to Atlanta, Livers figures to step into a larger role moving forward. While he doesn't have a particularly fantasy-friendly game, a sizeable role should at least put him on the radar in deeper formats.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Thursday Livers (ankle) will come off the bench Thursday against the Nets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Livers was initially ruled as questionable for Thursday's matchup with a right ankle sprain. With Alec Burks in the starting lineup, Livers will see minutes off the bench alongside Isaiah Stewart (shoulder).

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Greenlit to play Thursday Livers (ankle) will be available for Thursday's matchup in Brooklyn.

Impact Livers should fill a sizable role for the Pistons but may be bound for the bench again Thursday, with Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) also receiving the go-ahead to retake the floor. Regardless of his starting status, Livers doesn't produce enough on a nightly basis to move the needle in most fantasy formats.

JANUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lining up to play Thursday Livers (ankle) is trending toward taking the floor Thursday against the Nets, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Initially questionable on the injury report, Livers looks to be doing well with his ankle and should play a sizable role again Thursday after a brief departure from Monday's game versus the Bucks. Livers has started two of the last three games, though the expected return of Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) may result in Livers returning to a bench role.

JANUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Nets Livers is questionable for Thursday's game against Brooklyn due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact Livers went to the locker room Monday against the Bucks but was able to return to the game and tallied nine points, a rebound, an assist and a steal in 22 minutes. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Thursday after being diagnosed with a right ankle sprain, but if he's available, thes size of his role will likely depend on whether Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) is cleared to return.

JANUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns after foot injury Livers (foot) accumulated nine points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 150-130 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Livers drew the start Monday and scored six points in 11 minutes before leaving in the first half with a foot injury. However, he returned in the second half, so it appears the issue was minor. As long as Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) remains out, Livers will be a candidate for increased playing time in Detroit's frontcourt.

JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to locker room early Livers went to the locker room early after sustaining a foot injury during the first half of Monday's contest against the Bucks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact The exact extent of the injury is unknown at this time. Prior to exiting, Livers had recorded six points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and one steal across 11 minutes.

JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Livers will start in Monday's game against the Bucks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Livers will draw the start in place of Killian Hayes (shoulder) alongside Jaden Ivey, Bojan Bogdanovic, Saddiq Bey and Jalen Duren. Over eight starts this season, Livers has posted 6.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 23.3 minutes per game.

Looks good in starting role Livers finished with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes in Sunday's 117-104 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Livers picked up his eighth start of the season Sunday, but it came largely out of necessity while Detroit was without five rotation players due to injury. Assuming at least one of Bojan Bogdanovic (illness) and Jalen Duren (ankle) is back in action for Thursday's game against the Bulls in France, Livers will be a prime candidate to move the bench and see his minutes get cut in half.

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to starting lineup Sunday Livers will start Sunday's matchup against the Knicks, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact With Bojan Bogdanovic (illness) out, Livers will draw his first start since Dec. 1. Across his seven previous starts, Livers has averaged 6.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 20.9 minutes per game.

JANUARY 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins rotation Wednesday Livers (shoulder) logged 18 minutes off the bench and finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in Wednesday's 135-118 win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Though the Pistons were without both members of their starting frontcourt (Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart) as well as Marvin Bagley (hand), Livers handled only a light role off the second unit in his return from a 20-game absence. Considering that Saddiq Bey (31 points on 10-for-16 shooting) and Nerlens Noel (four blocks, three steals) both performed well in place of Stewart (shoulder) and Duren (ankle), respectively, Livers may not see his role grow much even if Detroit remains shorthanded in the frontcourt Friday against the Pelicans.

JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially clear for return Livers (shoulder) will return to action Wednesday versus the Bulls.

Impact Livers was already listed as probable on the initial injury report, but he's officially set to return following a month-plus on the sidelines due to a right shoulder sprain. Given the lengthy absence, Livers could face a minutes restriction out the gate, though he may have been able to work on conditioning somewhat with an upper-body injury. The Pistons are short on depth in the frontcourt with Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) and Jalen Duren (ankle) out, which could allow Livers to handle as many minutes as his conditioning allows.

JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return Wednesday Livers (shoulder) is probable for Wednesday's game versus Minnesota.

Impact Livers will likely make his return Wednesday after missing 20 straight games due to a right shoulder sprain. Fantasy managers should expect the 24-year-old forward to play limited minutes as he works his way back into game shape. Livers

JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Livers (shoulder) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact Livers will miss his 20th straight game Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out. However, his original injury status suggests that his return to action could come relatively soon. Livers' next chance to suit up is Wednesday's game versus Minnesota.
