Charis Lewart’s life has changed drastically in recent days. The talented scorer was included in the big trade with James Harden and moved from Brooklyn to Indiana. He has already prepared himself for the new chapter in his career, where he was supposed to be one of the significant players in the Pacers before he received the frightening news – he has a tumor in his kidney.
In fact, it could be that the trade saved Lewart’s life, as he underwent extensive medical tests before officially becoming an Indiana player and the MRI noticed the tumor. It should be noted that his condition is still unclear and he is expected to be absent for a long time. In any case, the Pacers have announced that Lewart will miss the team games until further notice.
It has to be said that Indiana is confident that the 26-year-old player will recover so she has approved the deal. In any case, the team will receive compensation for the findings when Brooklyn transfers $ 2.6 million to it, while it will receive a second-round pick from Cleveland in 2024.
Kevin Pritchard, the group’s president, made it clear that the team has full confidence in Lovert: “All our efforts have been directed to help Chris so we can start on the path we have planned for him, and at the same time we believe he can help us in the near future. We are ready to accept this risk and there is also the human element here. “
As you may recall, this season Wort averaged 18.5 points per game, 6 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 12 games when he was due to make the leap to the new team after Victor Oladipo found himself in Houston.
