Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey was injured during the game and has undergone surgery to repair a broken fibula in his left leg.
In the fourth quarter of the game against the Orlando Magic, Orlando Magic player Cole Anthony accidentally bumped into Ivey while fighting for the ball, causing him to fall to the ground. Ivey was in great pain at the time, covering his calf with both hands, and the team's medical team quickly stepped forward to deal with it.
After a period of treatment, Ivey was carried out of the field on a stretcher, with a towel covering the injured part. Then, Ivey was sent to the hospital for treatment. In the game, the Detroit Pistons defeated the Orlando Magic 105-96. Ivey was also the highest scoring player of the Detroit Pistons, contributing 22 points.
After the game, Detroit Pistons coach JB Bickerstaff said about Ivy's injury: "This is hard for all of us to accept. Ivy is the best teammate and the one who cares about the team the most. I am proud of the players' performance. They care about him and don't want to let him down."
Orlando Magic player Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was also worried about Ivey's condition and said: "I pray for him and hope he can fully recover and return to health. Ivey is a very good player. He performed very well tonight, but unfortunately such an accident happened. We are all praying for him."
Ivy has completed the repair surgery and will re-evaluate his recovery after four weeks of rest. Ivy also reported on social media that he is safe, writing: "I promise to return in a stronger state, and recovery starts now. #DetroitPistons"
