Caris LeVert’s $93,000 watch allegedly stolen while hosting party
The Los Angeles Police Department is on the clock because Caris LeVert is out of time.
TMZ reports the Cleveland Cavaliers reserve swingman lost a “super rare” watch while hosting a party earlier this month at his Los Angeles-area home.
The watch in question is a Peugeot, which boasts an apparent price tag of $93,000.
According to the report, “Someone was seen in LeVert’s bedroom during the festivities … and when the hooper went to check on the situation, he noticed his watch case was open.”
LeVert filed a report for grand theft with the LAPD, which is investigating the crime, according to TMZ.
However, no arrests have been made.
The situation comes just one month after the 28-year-old LeVert agreed to a two-year, $32 million contract with the Cavaliers.
LeVert was an All-Big Ten player at Michigan but battled leg injuries, eventually needing surgery for a Jones fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his left foot.
He joined the NBA in 2016 as a first-round draft pick of the Indiana Pacers, who then traded his draft rights to the Nets.
In January 2021, Brooklyn traded LeVert back to Indianapolis as part of the four-team trade with the Cavaliers and Rockets which sent James Harden to Brooklyn and Victor Oladipo to Houston.
During a post-trade physical, LeVert was diagnosed with kidney cancer, which required surgery.
He made his Pacers debut two months later following post-surgery rehab.
One year later, Indianapolis sent LeVert to the Cavs as part of the Ricky Rubio deal.
LeVert has played in 392 games spanning seven seasons, averaging 14.1 points per game.
His best campaign came in 2020-21 when he posted a career-best 20.2 points per game.
This past season, LeVert shot a career-high 39.2 percent on three-point field-goal attempts.
