Ivey supplied 15 points (4-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 win over the Nets.
This wasn't Ivey's best shooting night, obviously, but he continues to do a good job of stuffing the stat sheet thus far. Through seven games, Ivey is posting averages of 18.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.1 three-pointers on 44.2 percent shooting from the field.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Leads Detroit in scoring
Rotowire
Ivey finished with 26 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, six assists and a steal across 39 minutes in Saturday's 124-118 loss to the Celtics.
Ivey led the Pistons in scoring, and even though Cade Cunningham is the team's go-to player on offense, there's no question Ivey is enjoying an excellent start to the 2024-25 campaign. The third-year guard has scored at least 17 points in every game thus far while surpassing the 20-point mark in his last two appearances. Furthermore, he has increased his scoring totals with each passing game. A regression is likely to happen, particularly in his shooting percentages, but Ivey is clearly outperforming expectations early in the season.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Team option picked up
Rotowire
The Pistons exercised the fourth-year option on Ivey's rookie contract Monday, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.
Ivey is now under contract through the 2025-26 campaign. After a solid rookie season, the dynamic guard took a step back in Year 2. Nonetheless, Ivey remains a key part of Detroit's future and is expected to get another chance as Cade Cunningham's partner in the starting backcourt this season. However, newcomers Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway could push Ivey for playing time if the youngster continues to struggle with consistency.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Impresses in preseason loss
Rotowire
Ivey recorded 19 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block in 26 minutes of Sunday's 111-93 preseason loss to the Warriors.
Ivey has been a standout for Detroit during the preseason, catching the eyes of prospective fantasy managers. He averaged 15.4 points, 3.8 assists and 3.4 rebounds in 77 regular-season contests in 2023-24 but struggled with his shooting, hitting 42.9 percent from the field and 33.6 percent from three-point range.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Drops 16 points in preseason loss
Rotowire
Ivey scored 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding five assists, four rebounds and a steal in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 105-97 preseason loss to the Suns
The fifth overall pick in the 2022 Draft has had a strong start to the exhibition schedule, as he looks to prove he has a place in Detroit's future plans. Ivey should be set as the team's starting two-guard alongside Cade Cunningham to begin the season, but the former will either need to improve his scoring efficiency significantly or become an asset on the defensive end of the court, or both. If he doesn't, Ivey may lose minutes to the likes of Tim Hardaway, Malik Beasley and Simone Fontecchio.
Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Leads Pistons in preseason win
Rotowire
Ivey notched 22 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a block across 23 minutes in Sunday's 120-87 preseason win over the Bucks.
Ivey is competing for a starting role in the backcourt alongside Cade Cunningham, and there's no question he made a strong case for himself with a solid showing Sunday, leading the team in scoring and looking extremely efficient with his shot, particularly from three-point range. Ivey is competing with Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway for that starting gig, and he outplayed both of them, so things might be trending in the right direction for him with the regular season approaching quickly.
Ivey accumulated seven points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 107-89 victory over the Mavericks.
Ivey's single-digit point total was just his third such performance since Feb. 26. The second-year guard has averaged 16.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.5 triples across 30.5 minutes in his previous 10 games. He will look to end the season strongly when Detroit travels to San Antonio on Sunday.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Finishes as leading scorer Tuesday
Rotowire
Ivey contributed 25 points (8-17 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 120-102 loss to Philadelphia.
With Cade Cunningham missing his fourth straight game due to left knee injury management, Ivey continues to see an uptick in shot attempts. Ivey is averaging 12.7 shot attempts per game this season, but he has attempted 15-plus shots in each of his last six games. With the regular season winding down, the Pistons could opt to sit Cunningham down the stretch, which would mean more opportunities for Ivey. Ivey has averaged 20.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.3 assists over 30.4 minutes per game over the last four contests while shooting 55.6 percent from three on 6.8 attempts.
