Caris LeVert, a former collegiate star at Michigan, reportedly is heading back to the Great Lakes State.

The 30-year-old guard agreed to a two-year, $29 million deal with the Detroit Pistons, multiple media outlets reported on Monday.

LeVert could take the place of free agent wing Malik Beasley, who reportedly is the subject of a federal investigation into gambling irregularities. According to the Detroit Free Press, the Pistons tabled a potential three-year, $42 million offer for Beasley due to the probe.

LeVert split last season between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Atlanta Hawks, averaging a combined 12.1 points, 3.4 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game.

After playing for Michigan from 2012-13 to 2015-16, LeVert was selected by the Indiana Pacers with the 20th overall pick in the 2016 draft but was immediately traded to the Nets. He spent four-plus seasons in Brooklyn before returning to play parts of two seasons for Indiana.

LeVert played 3 1/2 seasons in Cleveland.

In 524 career NBA games (223 starts), he has averages of 13.9 points, 4.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds.
