Pistons’ Jaden Ivey Undergoes Procedure, Set to Miss Start of the Season
Jaden Ivey will miss at least the first month of the 2025-26 NBA season following right knee surgery unrelated to last season's fibula injury, team officials said.
- On Oct. 16, Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey underwent an arthroscopic procedure to relieve right knee discomfort and will miss the 2025-26 season opener and at least four weeks.
- The Pistons' medical team reported the right-knee issue is unrelated to his broken left fibula and began during training camp, prompting precautions that led to the procedure.
- Ivey averaged 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and four assists while shooting 40.9% from 3 before appearing in the Oct. 6 preseason game for 13 minutes, seven points and one assist.
- The absence leaves a gap in the guard rotation, and Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff named Marcus Sasser and Daniss Jenkins as fill-ins, saying `If healthy, we have the guys who can fill that spot`.
- Entering his contract season, Ivey could be up to 10 months from action and faces an Oct. 20 rookie-scale extension deadline, with the Pistons managing his recovery carefully.
