Caris LeVert will make his Indiana Pacers debut Saturday against the Phoenix Suns, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
LeVert underwent surgery in January to treat renal cell carcinoma of his left kidney. Head coach Nate Bjorkgren confirmed Thursday there was a possibility the wing would see game action during the team's upcoming three-game road trip.
"Caris LeVert played in practice today. He's getting closer and closer, it won't be too much longer," Bjorkgren added.
Indiana acquired LeVert from the Brooklyn Nets as part of the four-team James Harden deal. As LeVert underwent a physical to complete the blockbuster acquisition, an MRI detected a mass on his kidney.
The 26-year-old averaged 18.5 points and a career-high six assists per game over 12 appearances with the Nets this season.
