His brief four-game return to the lineup came after he missed nearly three weeks due<\/a> to a right knee sprain that occurred on Oct. 26. <\/p>\n

Lively has averaged 4.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.6 blocks this season. He and the franchise hoped the 2025-26 campaign would be a breakout year, one that had minimal injuries unlike his first two years in the league.<\/p>\n

Lively has now played in just 98 out of a possible 183 regular season games so far in his professional career since he was acquired by former general manager Nico Harrison during the 2023 NBA draft. <\/p>\n
