After missing the second half of last season with a left fibula injury, Jaden Ivey played only one preseason game for the Detroit Pistons before undergoing surgery on his right knee. Detroit announced the news on Oct. 16, and Ivey will be re-evaluated in four weeks, which is now three weeks away.
As discouraging as the injury was for fans, it was even worse for Ivey, who was playing the best basketball of his young career last season before he got hurt. However, the good news is that Pistons GM Trajan Langdon said on a recent episode of "The Zach Lowe Show" that it was a "clean-up" of loose particles that were causing discomfort in Ivey's knee.
