Sitting out Sunday Livers (shoulder) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Livers will miss his fifth consecutive game due to a sore right shoulder, but he appears to be close to a return nonetheless. Detroit upgraded Livers to questionable ahead of Sunday's contest, only to downgrade him following the team's morning shootaround. His absence for at least one more game should allow Kevin Knox to maintain a spot in the rotation.

Iffy for Sunday Livers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Lakers, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Livers has missed four straight games due to a right shoulder sprain, and his status looks to be up in the air for Sunday. Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart should continue to see more minutes if he were to sit out.

Won't play Friday Livers (shoulder) is out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Livers has been downgraded from doubtful to out Friday due to a right shoulder sprain. The second-year forward is set to miss his fourth straight game, but his original designation is a good sign that he could return to action soon. Livers' next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Lakers.

Upgraded to doubtful Livers (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Coach Dwayne Casey said Livers would be sidelined for "a little while" on Dec. 3 due to a right shoulder sprain but failed to offer any specific timetable. However, it looks like Livers will be approaching a return to the hardwood considering he was upgraded to doubtful for Friday's contest. When he returns, he will likely regain his starting power forward spot from Saddiq Bey.

To miss time with shoulder sprain Head coach Dwane Casey mentioned Saturday that Livers (shoulder) will miss some time, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Casey didn't offer an official timetable, but it seems Livers isn't viewed as day-to-day at this point. The team may provide more details on Livers once he begins to take steps toward a return. The injury comes at an inopportune time, as Livers secured a spot in the starting lineup over the past seven games after previously appearing off the bench. Even so, he's not a significant fantasy asset, checking in outside the top 200 in both per-game and per-36 fantasy production. Jaden Ivey figures to retake his spot in the starting five beginning Sunday, while Isaiah Stewart, Bojan Bogdanovic and Saddiq Bey are among the candidates to absorb Livers' playing time.

Won't return Thursday Livers (shoulder) won't return to Thursday's contest against the Mavericks, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Livers was forced out of Thursday's contest early in the first quarter due to a right shoulder sprain. Since the forward isn't returning, Saddiq Bey and Bojan Bogdanovic will likely see an uptick in minutes. While the severity of the injury is uncertain at this point, Livers could next return to action Sunday against the Grizzlies.

Suffers shoulder injury Livers (shoulder) headed to the locker room Thursday against the Mavericks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Livers appeared to suffer a shoulder injury during the first quarter of action against Dallas. The forward managed to play through the possession, but he exited to the locker room immediately after the play. Expect Saddiq Bey and Bojan Bogdanovic to see extended minutes if Livers can't return.

Struggles in start Sunday Livers produced seven points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Livers started for the fifth straight game but once again failed to deliver anything close to fantasy value. While the defensive output was nice, his inability to score, grab rebounds or pass the ball does weigh down his overall short-term appeal. His role figures to scale back once the Pistons start getting healthy bodies back on the floor, meaning those in standard leagues can continue to seek alternative options when it comes to waiver targets.

Making first start of season Livers will start Sunday's game against the Kings, James Edwards of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Saddiq Bey (ankle), Isaiah Stewart (toe) and Cade Cunningham (leg) all sidelined, the Pistons are down three starters, so coach Dwane Casey will be forced to dig deeper into his rotation. The Pistons will start with Killian Hayes and Jaden Ivey in the backcourt, while Bojan Bogdanovic, Isaiah Livers and Marvin Bagley comprise the rest of the starting lineup. It will be Livers' first start since Game 82 of last season.

Healthy contributions Friday Livers supplied 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 22 minutes during Friday's 121-112 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Livers has maintained a steady workload all season, ranging from 15 to 22 minutes in all but one 24-minute outing. However, he's seen a slight uptick to 20.5 per game over the last four, slightly higher than his 18.9 season average. Livers took advantage of his increased workload Friday, supplying his first multi-block game of the year in addition to his third double-digit scoring effort. He's, at best, an end-of-the-fantasy-bench option in most fantasy leagues but could be worth monitoring if injuries pop up in the Pistons' frontcourt.

Drills three from deep Livers amassed 11 points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one block in 21 minutes during Friday's 112-88 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Livers unexpectedly offered up some scoring production in this one, doing the majority of his damage from beyond the arc. He also swatted away his second shot of the young season. Livers should continue to come off the bench behind Bojan Bogdanovic and is averaging 6.0 points and 2.1 in 18.4 minutes through eight games.

NOVEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to tantalize Livers registered 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 118-113 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Livers produced an intriguing line in the loss, reminding everyone why he warranted a small amount of hype in the preseason. The arrival of Bojan Bogdanovic did extinguish that fire heading into drafts but maybe, just maybe, there is enough meat on the bone for him to have some value. At this stage, he is more of a name to watch but should his minutes continue to hold at around 25 per night, he could be worth a sneaky grab.

Scores eight points in season debut Livers racked up eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals over 16 minutes during Saturday's 124-115 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Livers saw action for the first time this season, turning in a subdues, yet intriguing line. Prior to the addition of Bojan Bogdanovic, Livers was seen as a potential late-round flier. Unfortunately, it does look as though his playing time is going to be limited, at least for the short term. While he is certainly a priority at this point, he is someone to watch moving forward, especially as the Pistons shift into lottery ball mode later in the season.

Off injury report Livers (hip) is off the injury report for Saturday's game at Indiana.

Impact After missing the first two games of the season due to a hip injury, Livers should enter the rotation Saturday. Kevin Knox is at the biggest risk of losing minutes.

OCTOBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Friday Livers (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Livers missed the Pistons' final two preseason games due to right hip soreness, and he'll sit out a second consecutive game to begin the regular season while nursing it. He returned to practice in a full capacity last weekend, but it's unclear whether he'll be available for the second game of the back-to-back set Saturday against Indiana.

Won't play in opener Livers (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Magic.

Impact Livers was sidelined for the Pistons' final two preseason games due to a sore right hip, but he returned to full participation in practice Sunday, suggesting he'd be fine for the regular season opener. However, Detroit with err on the side of caution and keep the second-year forward sidelined for at least one game. Livers' next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Knicks.

OCTOBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Puts in full practice Pistons head coach Dwane Casey said Livers (hip) participated in Sunday's practice, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact A sore right hip kept Livers from playing in the Pistons' final two preseason contests, but the injury doesn't look to be anything that will threaten his status for Wednesday's season opener with the Magic. Livers is expected to begin his second NBA season as a member of Detroit's second unit.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return next week Coach Dwane Casey said Wednesday that he expects Livers (hip) to return sometime next week, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Livers has been dealing with a hip injury recently but hasn't yet been forced to miss any game action. Given Casey's update Wednesday, it seems likely that Livers will be held out for Thursday's preseason finale against Memphis, but he should be in the mix to play during the Pistons' regular-season opener against the Magic on Oct. 19.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hip issue Coach Dwayne Casey revealed Tuesday that Livers is working through a hip issue, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

Impact Liver played 16 minutes in the team's last preseason contest, so this is likely a recent issue. It's unclear if the hip problem will prevent him from taking the floor Tuesday, but it's worth noting that he could be limited or absent from the preseason tilt.

Perfect from field Livers recorded 14 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 118-106 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Livers struggled to see the field for most of the season, but he was a bench option in March and started the final five games of the campaign. He averaged 9.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game during that five-game stretch and scored in double digits three times in that span.
