Pistons’ Jaden Ivey Faces Uncertain Future After Right Knee Scope—What’s Next for the Rising Star?
Ivey played in one preseason game for a total of 14 minutes, but the pain in his knee worsened as training camp and preseason games wore on, coach J.B. Bickerstaff said before the Pistons’ preseason game Thursday.
JB said Ivey’s knee issue progressively got worse over the course of training camp, until the medical team decided a procedure was needed. Added that they have players who can fill in. “It’s obviously tough for him and that’s what makes it difficult.” pic.twitter.com/A5WAssyYek

Ivey averaged 17.6 points while shooting 40.9% from 3, while adding 4.1 rebounds and four assists a game last season before his injury. Ivey was expected to take on a much larger scoring role with Dennis Schroder, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Malik Beasley no longer with the team. With Ivey out, expect more from Caris LeVert and Duncan Robinson, plus more scoring responsibilities will fall to Ausar Thompson, Ron Holland and Tobias Harris.
