Mon Feb 2619:37Isaiah Livers Ruled Out For Remainder Of Season
Washington Wizards forward Isaiah Livers (hip) will miss the remainder of the season, according to the team's official account. He's suffering from joint capsule inflammation in his right hip, and the team said that it will be treated conservatively. Livers came to Washington along with Marvin Bagley III in the trade that sent Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala to Detroit. The 25-year-old has shown some promise in his first two seasons but hasn't been able to take the floor for the Wizards this year. The last game he played was on Jan. 12 when he was still in Detroit. After getting some more information on his injury, he won't play again this year. Depending on the offseason moves that the Wizards make, Livers may have a solid role available for the taking next season.

Sun Jan 1414:16Pistons Send Isaiah Livers To Washington
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Wizards acquired forward Isaiah Livers, Marvin Bagley III, and two second-round picks from the Pistons in exchange for Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala. Livers entered the 2023-24 campaign coming off the best year of his career, averaging 8.5 points and 3.1 boards in 22 starts in Detroit last season. Unfortunately, he tweaked his ankle during training camp and missed nearly a month to begin the year. Without question, the 2021 No. 2 overall pick has more potential than what he's demonstrated with the Pistons. However, until he finds routine playing time in Washington, he's not worth adding in most fantasy formats.

Mon Nov 20 202318:42Isaiah Livers Upgraded To Available On Monday
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers (ankle) is prepared to make his season debut on Monday night against the Denver Nuggets after being upgraded from questionable to available. It's unclear how he'll fit into the rotation just yet since he hasn't played in the regular season, but since the team is missing three players that normally are in the rotation, he may get some minutes. Livers averaged 6.7 points and 2.8 rebounds last year so he likely won't be fantasy relevant except for very deep leagues.

Tue Oct 24 202318:45Isaiah Livers Still Out For Multiple Weeks
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers (ankle), who is out for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Miami Heat, will be re-evaluated in four weeks with a left ankle sprain. It adds to a rash of significant injuries to Detroit's rotation to kick off the 2023-24 campaign, as Livers represents one of three Pistons slated to be sidelined for at least the first dozen games of the season. The 25-year-old has been tending to his Grade 3 sprain for three weeks now, but he was always unlikely to be ready for the regular season. Joe Harris should be relied on quite a bit more off the bench, with Marvin Bagley III getting more run at power forward for head coach Monty Williams. Livers carries little to no fantasy relevance at this juncture.

Mon Oct 2 202314:33Isaiah Livers Out 6-8 Weeks With Ankle Sprain
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers suffered a Grade 3 left-ankle sprain while going through some workouts before training camp. He's now expected to miss six to eight weeks, which would have him returning to the court around mid-to-late November. The 25-year-old has slowly fallen down the depth chart, and this injury stint will likely work against him. He's not on the fantasy radar right now unless the team decides to move him up to backup small or power forward. Ausar Thompson, Joe Harris, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Isaiah Stewart are all ahead of him at this moment.

Tue Jun 27 202318:45Isaiah Livers' Option Picked Up By Pistons
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers had his $1.8 million team option picked up for the upcoming season. The 24-year-old reportedly has impressed the front office and coaches with his defense and shooting so far. The team put a lot of confidence in his growth last year, as he started in 22 games and appeared in 52 of them. He boasted averages of 6.7 points and 2.8 rebounds on 23.1 minutes per game. His shooting percentages took a hit from his rookie season, but he saw more volume as well. He won't be much of a factor fantasy-wise unless he takes a major step forward.

Sun Mar 19 202316:56Isaiah Livers Out Again On Sunday
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers (hip) won't play on Sunday versus Miami. Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) also remains out, so Rodney McGruder should slide back into the three spot. McGruder has averaged 10.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 46.2% shooting from deep in 10 starts this season, giving him plenty of appeal in all fantasy setups.

Thu Mar 16 202314:32Isaiah Livers Unavailable Thursday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Isaiah Livers (hip) won't play Thursday against Denver, missing a second consecutive game. With a number of players out of the lineup due to injuries, Livers has played a big part for the Pistons in recent weeks, but he has now hurt himself as well and has to watch the proceedings from the sidelines. Eugene Omoruyi and Rodney McGruder have started to see big minutes, becoming viable options for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

Tue Mar 14 202317:46Isaiah Livers Among Pistons Sitting Out Tuesday
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers (hip) has been ruled out Tuesday against the Washington Wizards. Livers has been starting due to the many injuries Detroit is facing, but he will be another victim to the injury bug as he's been ruled out with some hip soreness. The Pistons are on the second night of a back-to-back and have eight players listed as out Tuesday. If Cory Joseph (illness) is able to play, he should see an uptick in minutes. R.J. Hampton and Rodney McGruder should also benefit on against Washington.

Sat Mar 4 202319:26Isaiah Livers To Start On Saturday
Detroit Pistons guard Isaiah Livers will move into the starting five for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Veteran guard/forward Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) has been ruled out, so Livers will start in his place. The Pistons are banged up right now, so Livers should see significant minutes. Despite that, Livers hasn't been too productive lately, so he's more of a low-end streaming option.

Sat Mar 4 202303:00Isaiah Livers Expected To Play Versus Cleveland
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers (ankle) is probable for Saturday's Central Division meeting with Cleveland. Livers only missed one game after suffering a sprained left ankle on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. But it appears he'll be good to go, which is good news, considering Jalen Duren (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (hip) are sidelined for this one. That said, James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley III should benefit the most, although there is a chance Livers could be more involved than usual, assuming he plays.

Wed Mar 1 202314:32Isaiah Livers Doubtful For Wednesday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Isaiah Livers (ankle) has been listed as doubtful ahead of Wednesday's game against the Bulls. He hurt his left ankle Monday versus Charlotte, playing only eight minutes as a starter. The 24-year-old has had some time to recover since getting hurt, but it appears likely that Livers won't be available on Wednesday. The returning Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) is set to replace him in the starting unit, while Hamidou Diallo should play a bigger role off the bench if Livers won't play.

Tue Feb 28 202307:50Isaiah Livers Hurts Left Ankle Monday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Isaiah Livers left Monday's clash with Charlotte due to a left ankle sprain. He was able to play for only eight minutes and had one steal while missing all of his three shots. Livers made his ninth start of the campaign, and he was in a spot to benefit from a number of injuries the team has suffered, but instead, the 24-year-old went down himself. Hamidou Diallo had a great game off the bench with 23 points and should get another boost if Livers is out Wednesday against Chicago. Other bench players are bound to pick up extra minutes as well.

Thu Jan 26 202314:32Isaiah Livers Questionable For Thursday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Isaiah Livers (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's game against Brooklyn. He sprained his right ankle Monday versus Milwaukee. Livers was able to complete the contest, but he hasn't gotten fully healthy and is thus carrying a question mark around with him. The 24-year-old logged his ninth start of the season Monday but looks set to head back to the bench Thursday if he is able to play, with Detroit getting back Killian Hayes (shoulder). Livers has been underwhelming even as a starter and plays a very insignificant role in fantasy hoops.

Sat Jan 7 202323:42Isaiah Livers Remains Out Against Philadelphia
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers (shoulder) remains out for Sunday's meeting against Philadelphia. He hasn't played in over a month because of a right shoulder sprain, so it's anyone's guess how much more time he'll miss. Marvin Bagley III (hand) also won't play, as expected, and Jalen Duren (ankle) is questionable. As a result, Saddiq Bey, who has averaged 13.7 points in 38 games this season, could be in line for additional work. Kevin Knox II may also see an uptick in minutes, although not enough to make him relevant on the fantasy end.

Thu Aug 4 202222:25Isaiah Livers Could Earn Starting Gig
Detroit Pistons forward Isaiah Livers appears to have a chance at earning a starting spot next season. As of right now, Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Saddiq Bey, and Isaiah Stewart are expected to be four of the starters. However, the final spot could very well come down to Livers and Marvin Bagley III. This could be an interesting positional battle, but Livers might have a slight edge. He played well in the Summer League and defends well for a player at his position. Regardless, Livers should get consistent playing time whether he's a starter or not. He could be someone worth thinking about in deep leagues.

Wed Mar 16 202209:27Isaiah Livers Earns Praise From Coach Dwane Casey
Detroit Pistons rookie forward Isaiah Livers earned praise from head coach Dwane Casey following the team's 105-98 loss to the Miami Heat on Tuesday. Casey was impressed with Livers on both the defensive end and offensive end of the floor, particularly noting his ability to challenge shots and make the right passes. Casey stated, "I'm really impressed with the young man and the way he's playing. He's finding his way into the core of our group with the way he's playing." Livers played a season-high 32 minutes on Tuesday and wound up setting season-highs in points (16), three-pointers (four) and rebounds (6). The Pistons were a bit short-handed without fellow rookie Cade Cunningham (illness) on Tuesday, but it's safe to say that Livers should continue to see around 20 minutes per game for at least the next week or so. He's worth keeping an eye on for fantasy managers in deep leagues.
