Overview

  • Ivey had arthroscopic surgery to relieve right‑knee discomfort and will be re‑evaluated in four weeks, with the team expecting a full recovery.
  • Detroit said the knee issue is unrelated to the fractured left fibula that ended Ivey’s 2024–25 season after 30 games.
  • Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said the problem developed during training camp work, leading medical staff to opt for the procedure.
  • With Ivey sidelined, ball‑handling and minutes are set to shift to Caris LeVert, Ausar Thompson, Marcus Sasser, Daniss Jenkins, Duncan Robinson and Ron Holland.
  • Ivey averaged 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists on 40.9% 3‑point shooting last season, and Detroit opens the regular season Oct. 22 at Chicago.
