Pistons’ Jaden Ivey Suffers Broken Fibula During Win Over Magic

The 22-year-old guard underwent surgery and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, offering a potential return later this season.

Jaden Ivey sustained a broken left fibula during the fourth quarter of the Pistons' 105-96 victory over the Orlando Magic when Cole Anthony accidentally collided with his leg while diving for a loose ball.
Ivey underwent successful surgery on Thursday, with no ligament or tendon damage reported, and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, raising hopes for a possible return this season.
Before the injury, Ivey was in the midst of a career-best season, averaging 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game while shooting 40.9% from three-point range.
Teammates and opponents were visibly emotional following the incident, with players forming a circle around Ivey as he was stretchered off the court to chants of his name from fans.
The Pistons, now 15-18 and in Eastern Conference play-in contention, face challenges replacing Ivey’s scoring and playmaking, with Marcus Sasser expected to take on an increased role.
