Pistons’ Jaden Ivey Faces Uncertain Future After Right Knee Scope—What’s Next for the Rising Star?

Pistons’ Jaden Ivey Faces Uncertain Future After Right Knee Scope—What’s Next for the Rising Star?

Detroit is looking to take another step forward after a breakout last season, during which it secured a top-six seed and returned to the playoffs. A big part of that next step was expected to be an increased role for guard Jaden Ivey, who was having a breakout year for himself until a fibula injury in January limited him to 30 games.

That next step for Ivey is on hold. He has had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee to relieve discomfort and he will be re-evaluated in a month, the team announced. The Pistons also said that the injury was “unrelated to the fibula injury suffered last season,” which tracks with Ivey saying at media day he was feeling “100%.” The team’s recovery timeline has Ivey missing at least a dozen games.
