Jaden Ivey's recovery from a fractured fibula is progressing, as evidenced by his appearance at the Detroit Pistons' shootaround wearing a walking boot. After suffering the injury on January 1, Ivey is now able to engage in light weight-bearing activities. The Pistons have not ruled him out for the season, although he still faces a long road to full recovery. Currently averaging 18 points per game with a notable shooting percentage, Ivey's ongoing rehabilitation focuses on ensuring his long-term health.

Despite his absence, Ivey's potential return is a glimmer of hope for the Pistons, as he and Cade Cunningham had built positive chemistry on the court. With the team cautious about his recovery process, they aim to have him fully fit before considering a return to gameplay.
