Pistons desperately need a second-year leap from Jaden Ivey's replacement
Jan 1, 2025; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (23) : Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images | Lon Horwedel-Imagn ImagesThe Jaden Ivey injury will have a ripple effect on the Detroit Pistons' starting lineup as well as the bench and Ron Holland II will have to step up while the Pistons wait for Ivey to return again.
Ivey's short-term replacement in the starting five will be Duncan Robinson, and the Pistons hopefully won't lose too much in the exchange, as Robinson has some skills in the half court that should help Detroit overcome some of the explosive open court buckets they lost with Ivey out.
