The Detroit Pistons announced on Thursday that guard
Jaden Ivey (lower leg) has moved to weight-bearing strengthening exercises, running progression activity and stationary shooting. Ivey's recovery progress will be updated in another four weeks. The 24-year-old underwent surgery after breaking his left fibula on January 1st. Barring any setbacks while recovering, he could potentially be good to go for the playoffs. With Ivey still out, fantasy managers can expect 22-year-old
Ausar Thompson to remain a starter.

The Detroit Pistons announced guard
Jaden Ivey (leg) underwent successful surgery to repair a broken fibula in his left leg. According to Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site, he will be re-evaluated in four weeks. The 22-year-old was having an excellent season with
Cade Cunningham in the Pistons backcourt, averaging 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 29.9 minutes per game. Until Ivey can step on the floor again, the Pistons will rely upon
Ausar Thompson,
Marcus Sasser, Tim Hardaway, and
Malik Beasley to help in their backcourt.

Detroit Pistons guard
Jaden Ivey will miss at least most of the remainder of the regular season after sustaining a broken fibula in his left leg, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The third-year guard was having an exceptional season alongside
Cade Cunningham in the Pistons backcourt, averaging 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in 29.9 minutes per game with a 26.6% usage rate. The former Boilermaker had only missed three games all season before Wednesday's injury, and in those games,
Malik Beasley stepped into an expanded role while Cunningham's usage also rose. Ivey's injury will also open up playing time for
Ausar Thompson, who is ramping up to a larger workload after a delayed start to the season.

Detroit Pistons guard
Jaden Ivey suffered a gruesome looking leg injury in Wednesday night's game against the Orlando Magic. Ivey injured his left leg when Magic guard Cole Anthony dove for a loose ball. Ivey went down immediately and was in obvious pain as the game came to a pause. The 22-year-old was stretchered to the locker room with his left leg covered in towels. Ivey had been having a fantastic game up to that point, putting up 22 points while hitting five threes. He's been a key piece to the Pistons' success this season as a great second option to
Cade Cunningham while posting career highs in PPG, RPG and APG. With Ivey likely to miss considerable time, expect
Ausar Thompson to get bumped into the starting rotation.
