2023 Fantasy Outlook
Livers played only 52 games last season, limited by a shoulder injury. He ended as the 248th-ranked player in nine-category leagues, averaging 6.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.5 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers. He started his final 12 games of the season, and yet still failed to produce anything of note. The Pistons, despite still being in a rebuilding phase, have added some depth during the offseason. Livers will be competing with Ausar Thompson, Joe Harris, Bojan Bogdanovic, Isaiah Stewart and Marvin Bagley for minutes, providing very little certainty when it comes to his ongoing role. While it is only his third season in the league, the immediate future is not bright. Managers need not concern themselves with him in standard leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Isaiah Livers was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan in July of 1998. Livers was raised by Angela Livers and Morris Livers. He followed in the footsteps of his father and started playing basketball at the age of five in the driveway with his dad. He went to Kalamazoo Central High School in Michigan where he was named 2017 Michigan Gatorade Player of the Year and Mr. Basketball of Michigan. Livers committed to the University of Michigan and played there all four years of his college career. In his freshman season, he only averaged 3.4 points and 2.3 rebounds but he helped his team reach the 2018 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Game. In his sophomore season, Livers averaged 7.9 points and 3.9 rebounds, including a 21 point effort in the Big Ten Semifinals. During his junior year, Livers significantly increased his production, averaging 12.9 points per game and 3.9 rebounds per game. Livers decided to return to Michigan for his senior season and was named Second Team All-Big Ten, averaging 13.1 points and 6.2 rebounds. After leading his team to an NCAA tournament number one seed, Livers suffered a stress fracture in his right foot which left him out for the rest of the season, an extremely unfortunate circumstance for both Livers and the Wolverines. After undergoing successful foot surgery and being out for about six months, Livers was drafted in the second round of the 2021 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons.

Out 6-8 weeks

October 2, 2023
The Pistons announced Monday that Livers is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks with a Grade 3 left ankle sprain, Omari Sankofa of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a brutal blow for Livers, as he had a lot to prove during training camp. With more depth in Detroit this season, Livers was already on the outskirts of the rotation, and this injury will push him down the depth chart even further. He made 52 appearances for Detroit last year, averaging 6.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 23.0 minutes per game.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Livers was selected by the Pistons with the 42nd overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Livers is a sharpshooting combo forward. He made 2.2 threes per game at a 43.1 percent clip as a senior at Michigan. He's coming off of foot surgery, so it's not clear exactly when he'll be ready to step on the court with Detroit. When he does, he might not be an every-game player.
