Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is expected to miss a significant portion of the remainder of the season due to a leg injury sustained during a recent game.
Ivey, 22, will miss at least most of the remainder of the season, sources told ESPN. The Pistons and Ivey are currently not ruling out a return depending on Detroit's play and potential postseason run, but the franchise will be cautious on the rehabilitation and recovery of the rising young guard. He has had a career season for the resurgent Pistons in his third year, averaging 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.
During a recent game, an opposing player slipped and fell into Ivey's planted leg while going for the ball. Ivey was in obvious distress as he grabbed for his shin, and Detroit's medical staff quickly attended to him. Members of the athletic training staff held up towels to block the crowd's view of the injury, and players from both teams formed a circle around Ivey. After a lengthy delay, he was loaded onto a stretcher and wheeled out of the arena with a towel covering the injury.Detroit is firmly in the Play-In Tournament race this season at 15-18, good for the ninth seed and three games out of sixth place
