Pistons' Jaden Ivey Progressing in Injury Recovery, Out Two More Weeks

The Detroit Pistons provided an update on guard Jaden Ivey’s recovery from a broken left fibula, stating he has progressed to basketball shooting and skill work along with continued reconditioning and strength training. Ivey, who was injured on January 1, has not played since but has been active in individual drills and conditioning after team practices. The team will reassess his status in two weeks, but his return this season depends on the Pistons advancing past the first round of the playoffs, as he is not expected to be cleared for full five-on-five play before then. Ivey was enjoying a career season before the injury, averaging 17.6 points per game and shooting over 40% from three-point range. The Pistons currently trail the New York Knicks 2-1 in their playoff series, making Ivey’s return uncertain unless the team can rally further. Recovery timelines for his injury typically range from four to six months, and Ivey is nearing the four-month mark since his surgery.
