As part of their physical, the Pacers underwent a lower back MRI that only a few teams do. Following the tests, Pacers’ team physician called LeVert with the results, and the following is what he said:
“I know you don’t know me,” the doctor said. “But you won’t be traveling with the team today. We found something we need to look at.”
Despite his health problems, LeVert believes he is fortunate that the trade saved his life. At present, he has made his debut as a member of the Indiana Pacers, recording 13 points, seven rebounds, and two assists in the Pacers’ 122–111 victory over the Phoenix Suns.
