Pistons' Jaden Ivey makes progress in leg rehab

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey is making significant progress in his rehabilitation from a broken left fibula sustained on January 1 during a game against the Orlando Magic. Ivey, who has transitioned out of a walking boot, is now engaged in weight-bearing strength training, running, and stationary shooting, with the team set to reevaluate his condition in four weeks. While he hasn't set a specific return date, Ivey expressed hope to return this season, especially as the Pistons are currently competing for a playoff spot. Averaging a career-high 17.6 points per game before his injury, Ivey's absence has coincided with the Pistons' strong performance, as they have posted a 22-11 record since his injury. He remains optimistic and motivated to rejoin his teammates as they push for success in the playoffs. Ivey's teammates have been supportive during his recovery, which has been a source of encouragement for him.
