5. Caris LeVert
Caris LeVert was becoming the featured scorer and franchise player for the Brooklyn Nets, when a horrific-looking injury brought his season to a screeching halt.
LeVert was averaging 18.4 points per game and was a prime candidate to win the Most Improved Player of the Year Award. The news of the injury still ended up being better than we initially thought, as he just dislocated his foot and could return in February.
