The Detroit Pistons faced a significant setback during their recent game against the Orlando Magic when guard Jaden Ivey suffered a leg injury that forced him to leave the court on a stretcher. This incident occurred in the fourth quarter of the Pistons' 105-96 victory, following a collision with Magic guard Cole Anthony while both players were attempting to secure a loose ball.
Reports indicate that Ivey has sustained a broken fibula, although no specific timeline for his recovery has been established. This injury comes at a particularly unfortunate time for Ivey, who was enjoying a breakout season, averaging 17.6 points and 4.0 assists per game, and was poised for a contract extension this offseason.
