THE SEASON SO FAR
Caris LeVert’s start to the 2025-26 campaign was defined by wild, unpredictable swings in efficiency that frequently sabotaged his team's second unit. During an abysmal 12/04 vs MIL appearance, he chucked his way to a dismal -16.8 Impact score, bricking seven three-pointers in a 1-for-10 shooting disaster that completely derailed the offense. He occasionally found ways to contribute without filling the scoring column, like his 12/13 vs ATL performance where he managed a +1.9 Impact score on just 10 points by shifting into a facilitation role and dishing out eight assists. Yet, even when his jumper fell, hidden costs regularly dragged down his overall value. Look no further than 12/07 vs MIL; despite scoring 11 points on an efficient 3-for-5 from the floor, his Impact score still sank to -2.2 because he offered almost zero resistance on the perimeter and failed to generate looks for his teammates. This erratic bench production makes him a highly volatile luxury. When his shot selection spirals, his minutes quickly become a massive liability.
This twenty-game stretch was an offensive nightmare for Caris LeVert, defined by frigid shooting and a complete inability to anchor the second unit. His erratic shot selection repeatedly derailed the offense, bottoming out entirely on 12/23 vs POR. Missing all eight of his field goal attempts in just 18 minutes, LeVert dragged his team down with a disastrous -14.5 Impact score as empty possessions piled up. The perimeter woes continued on 01/20 vs BOS. A 1-for-6 shooting night and forced three-pointers yielded a brutal -12.1 Impact score in that contest. He managed to break the negative trend just once during this span. On 02/06 vs NYK, LeVert finally played within the flow of the offense, dishing out six assists and hitting two timely triples to post a +1.1 Impact score. When his isolation scoring vanishes, he simply does not offer enough ancillary value to survive on the floor.
This brutal twenty-game stretch was defined by a crippling shooting slump that rendered Caris LeVert nearly unplayable off the bench. The absolute nadir arrived on 03/13 vs MEM. He forced terrible looks all night, finishing with just four points on a dismal 2-of-10 from the floor. Clanking all five of his three-point attempts dragged his overall impact to a disastrous -16.8. He briefly snapped out of his funk on 03/19 vs WAS, pouring in an efficient 14 points alongside six assists. By letting the game come to him rather than chucking heavily contested jumpers, he earned a rare +5.6 impact score. Take his gritty outing on 04/10 vs CHA for a glimpse of his alternative value. Despite scoring only six points on ugly 2-of-7 shooting, he managed to scrape out a +0.1 impact by digging in defensively and keeping the ball moving with three assists.
IMPACT TIMELINE
Game-by-game performance vs average. Green = above average, red = below.
Struggling. LeVert has posted negative impact in 79% of games this season. The production rarely outweighs the cost.
Middle-of-the-road efficiency — shoots 45%+ from the field in 41% of games. Not automatic, but not a problem either.
Good defender on his best nights, but it comes and goes. Some games LeVert locks in defensively, others he gets picked apart.
Hot right now — 4 straight games with positive impact. Longest positive run this season: 4 games.
