Pistons guard Jaden Ivey continues to make progress as he rehabilitates his broken fibula but his potential return date remains unknown. Ivey suffered the injury on Jan. 1. during a game against the Magic. He’s been out of action since then while his team has surged into playoff position over the last few weeks.

Although there is still no timeline for his return, the Pistons announced that Jaden Ivey is continuing to make progress from a broken left fibula.

“The Pistons say guard Jaden Ivey (broken left fibula) has transitioned to a walking boot and has begun light weight-bearing activity. Ivey’s progress will be updated in another four weeks as weight-bearing and basketball activities continue to evolve during the rehab process,” Spears wrote on X on Thursday.

The No. 5 overall pick in the 2022 draft, Ivey had been enjoying his best season as a pro, establishing new career highs in points (17.6) and rebounds (4.1) per game, as well as field goal percentage (46.0%) and 3-point percentage (40.9%). He has started all 30 games he has played, averaging 29.9 minutes per night.

Severity of Jaden Ivey's leg injury wasn’t immediately known after Pistons beat Magic, but it appears significant due to reaction from other players.

Adjusting has been quite challenging for the Detroit Pistons since losing their rising guard, Jaden Ivey, this season. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff addressed what the absence of Ivey has meant to the team after a miserable loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Dallas Mavericks are traveling to Detroit to take on the Pistons on Friday evening, and it looks like the Mavs might be starting to get healthy. Just last week, as many as seven players were out for the Mavericks, but now they're only down to four.
