LeVert entered Game 4 listed as questionable because of a right heel contusion, but remained active and contributed early minutes for the Pistons.

His reaction became one of the most discussed moments online from the game as fans and media reacted to Detroit losing control after entering the night with a 2-1 series lead.

The series returns to Detroit for Game 5 on 5/13.
