Jaden Ivey Rumors
Bobby Marks: The free agent market has significantly dried up since late June. While Detroit still retains his non-bird rights, the maximum they can sign him for his $7.2M. The Pistons have signed Caris LeVert, Duncan Robinson, Javonte Green to replace Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. They also expect Jaden Ivey to return.
On extensions talks with Jalen Duren and Jaden Ivey: “Those guys are key guys for us. We’re not the cap-space Pistons anymore. We’re the playoff-Pistons now. If want to keep being the playoff-Pistons, we need to be really smart from here on out,” a Pistons front office executive said. “That means finding the right deal for us and our players. But we love the way both Jalen and Jaden have developed. Look, if we have Jaden last year, we win our first playoff series in forever. We believe that 100%. We’re hopeful we can get extensions done with both of those guys to keep them in Detroit for a long time.”
Omari Sankofa II: Trajan on Jaden Ivey and Isaiah Stewart's injury status: "I wouldn't say there a full go but they’re coming along. They’ll be ready for camp."
Omari Sankofa II: Asked Trajan Langdon about Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren becoming extension-eligible this offseason: "That’s TBD right now. I’m sure talks will be had in the summer, but we have a long time to make that decision."

Jaden Ivey cleared for basketball activity

Ausar Thompson's game meshes with his role. He’s the Pistons' top perimeter defender, one of their best playmakers in transition and a great rebounder for his size. The team is 9-2 in January despite losing Jaden Ivey on New Year’s Day, largely thanks to Thompson. “(It’s) us just trying to monitor him and keep him as fresh as we best possibly can, and honestly on some days that’s different,” Bickerstaff said of the minute restriction. “Sometimes I can look at him and see, ok he’s doing good. Other times I may look at him and think he needs a break. Just depending on the pace of the game — how many breaks, how many stoppages, free throws — all of those things play a part in it. The timeout situation around it, obviously those things impact the length of his stretches. And it’s kinda a gut feel as you’re going into the game as well.”
Jaden Ivey undergoes surgery on broken fibula
Omari Sankofa II: Pistons announce Jaden Ivey underwent surgery this morning to repair a broken fibula in his left leg. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Doesn't guarantee he'll return in a month, but that's a very encouraging timeline considering how the injury first appeared.
Omari Sankofa II: I reported earlier that the team believed there wasn't any ligament or tendon damage with Ivey's leg. The four-week recovery window supports that it was a clean break. Best-case scenario, as far as broken fibulas go.
