The Indiana Pacers recently received a much-needed boost as it welcomed back the returning Caris LeVert on the floor last week. Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon expressed his contentment with his team's performance as of late but further claimed that they still have more to give in their coming games, via Scott Agness.
Malcolm Brogdon likes what they’ve done over the last week, but adds “I don’t think we’ve scratched the surface."

LeVert was previously kept on the sidelines after an MRI revealed a small mass on his kidney which was initially found during a physical when he first came to the Pacers due to the blockbuster James Harden trade back in mid-January.
He was ruled out for over two months until he made a return to action last March 13 against the Phoenix Suns where they emerged victorious on a 122-111 triumph. Since then, the Pacers have already won four of its last seven games en route to a 21-23 record.
LeVert has been his usual self as he is tallying 15.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.9 assists through eight games played for the Pacers. However, he has yet to find his smooth shooting stroke as he is currently shooting a dismal 39.2% from the field and 34.0% from beyond the arc as of late.
His inefficiency may have played a part as they are merely settling for the ninth spot in the Eastern Conference. The team's campaign is expected to improve as LeVert makes more significant strides regarding his recovery from his health condition in the coming weeks.
The Pacers are hoping that the combined production of Malcolm Brogdon, Caris LeVert, and Domantas Sabonis would be enough to eventually put the team in contention for a playoff spot in the latter stages of the season.
