Overview

  • The team says the arthroscopic procedure addressed right knee discomfort, is unrelated to his prior fractured left fibula, and will be followed by immediate rehab with a re-evaluation in four weeks around Nov. 13.
  • Ivey will miss the start of the 2025-26 season after logging 14 minutes in the preseason opener and then sitting out the final two exhibitions due to the knee issue.
  • Coaches plan to redistribute ball-handling and wing minutes to Caris LeVert, Duncan Robinson, Marcus Sasser, Daniss Jenkins, Ausar Thompson and Ron Holland during his absence.
  • The timing complicates rookie-scale extension talks before Monday’s Oct. 20 deadline, with multiple reports indicating the procedure reduces the likelihood of a deal this week.
  • Detroit opens the regular season Oct. 22 at Chicago and retains flexibility with an open roster spot and a reported $14.3 million trade exception if outside help is pursued.
