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.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Struggles in win
Rotowire
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.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Records double-double
Rotowire
Ivey registered 16 points (7-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Nets.
Ivey didn't have his best shooting performance and ended up needing 21 shots to score 16 points, but he salvaged his fantasy stat line with his contributions in other categories -- mainly as a passer with a season-high 10 assists. Ivey should experience an uptick in his usage rate as long as Cade Cunningham (knee) remains sidelined.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Scores 31 points against Memphis
Rotowire
Ivey logged 31 points (10-15 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during Friday's 108-90 loss to Memphis.
Ivey delivered one of his best scoring performances of the season Friday, and even though he reached the 30-point mark just for the fourth time in the current campaign, his efforts were not enough to lift the Pistons to victory. Ivey has scored 15 or more points in six of his last nine outings, and he could be in line to handle a bigger role on offense in the final week of the regular season if Cade Cunningham (knee) doesn't return for the final games on the schedule.

Ivey missed the Pistons' loss to the Timberwolves on Wednesday due to left knee soreness, but he was able to suit up Friday to help the Pistons capture their 13th win of the season. Ivey shot 29.4 percent from the field Friday and struggled from beyond the arc, but he managed to contribute in other ways. He's averaging 15.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists over 31.2 minutes per game in March.

Rotowire
Ivey (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards but was present during the Pistons' morning shootaround, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Ivey and Cade Cunningham (knee) are in the same boat and will likely be game-time decisions ahead of the 7:00 p.m. ET tipoff. Before Ivey's absence Wednesday, he appeared in 16 straight games and averaged 15.7 points, 3.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 30.6 minutes during that stretch.

Ivey made an impact on both ends of the court in Wednesday's contest, ending as one of two Pistons with 15 or more points while swiping a team-high-tying pair of steals and handing out a trio of assists. Ivey has surpassed the 15-point mark in two straight outings, and he posted his 11th game of the year with two or more steals.

Ivey was the lead facilitator for the Pistons on Wednesday, a role usually filled by Cade Cunningham. Ivey is shooting 34.0 percent from the field and 2-for-17 from three over his last three games and has cooled off from his 34-point performance against the Nets on March 7. He has managed to contribute in other ways, including by collecting two steals in three of his last four games.

Ivey did the majority of his damage at the free-throw line but failed to step up as New York diverted defensive attention to Cade Cunningham down the stretch -- holding Detroit's alpha scoreless in the fourth quarter. Ivey is averaging 12.0 points and 4.3 assists on a lowly 31.4 percent shooting in three games since the All-Star break.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Career-high seven threes in OT win
Rotowire
Ivey registered 26 points (8-21 FG, 7-7 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 48 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime win over the Trail Blazers.
The second-year guard is enjoying his west coast trip after dropping a career-high 37 points on the Kings just one night earlier, as Thursday's seven made three-pointers were also a career best. Ivey could see his usage increase coming out of the trade deadline after Detroit shook up its backcourt, as Cade Cunningham and Quentin Grimes would seem to be his main competition for the ball for the rest of the season. Ivey's scored in double digits in seven straight games, averaging 21.7 points, 4.6 boards, 4.0 assists and 3.4 threes over that stretch while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor and a stunning 61.5 percent (24-for-39) from beyond the arc.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Hits career high in win
Rotowire
Ivey logged 37 points (13-23 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 victory over the Kings.
The outlook was bleak for the Pistons with Cade Cunningham (knee) and Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) sidelined, but Ivey stepped in and spearheaded a brilliant fourth quarter, scoring 19 of his 37 points in the final stanza. The 2022 first-round pick has started only 30 of 46 games this year after starting nearly every game for the Pistons during his rookie season, but the 21-year-old has been a fixture in the starting lineup over the past two months and deserves nightly consideration, as his role will still be relevant when Detroit's top scorers return.
