Bulls' Jaden Ivey: Traded to Chicago
Rotowire
Ivey will be traded from the Pistons to the Bulls in a three-team transaction Tuesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. Minnesota will send Mike Conley to the Bulls, while Kevin Huerter (back) and Dario Saric will head to Detroit.
Ivey has been in the rumor mill for months as he became expendable in Detroit's backcourt. It didn't help his case that he missed a lot of time with injuries in recent seasons. Ivey will get a fresh start in Chicago, but unless the team moves Coby White, Ivey won't be considered likely to start in the backcourt with Josh Giddey (hamstring) running the point. Ivey is questionable to debut against the Raptors on Thursday.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Sees 21 minutes in win
Rotowire
Ivey produced eight points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Sunday's 130-77 victory over the Nets.
With the Pistons mostly healthy, minutes continue to be difficult to come by in Detroit. If the team ends up being buyers at the trade deadline, it will be interesting to see if Ivey's name pops up as he's currently being underutilized in Detroit.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Modest season continues
Rotowire
Ivey notched seven points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 win over the Pelicans.
Ivey scored single digits for the fifth time in the past six games, continuing his underwhelming campaign. After his start to the season was delayed by a month due to injury, the hope was that Ivey would be able to carve out a starter-level role. However, it looks as though he could be limited to bench minutes, averaging just 19.2 minutes per game in 14 appearances over the past month.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Headed to bench
Rotowire
Ivey will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Suns.
Cade Cunningham (wrist) is back after a two-game stint on the sidelines, which will result in Ivey's return to the second unit. Ivey has been quiet this season, owning averages of 8.3 points, 1.8 assists and 1.0 three-pointers per game.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Offers little despite start
Rotowire
Ivey accumulated eight points (4-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt) and three rebounds across 20 minutes during Saturday's 98-92 loss to the Clippers.
Ivey moved into the starting lineup after Cade Cunningham was ruled out with a wrist injury. While this was a great opportunity for Ivey, he came up well short of what managers were hoping for. Given what we have seen from him thus far, and the fact that he is typically limited to minutes in the teens, Ivey can be ignored in standard leagues at this point.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Scores season-high 16 points
Rotowire
Ivey notched 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 121-90 victory over New York.
Ivey put up his most points of the season in Monday's win over the Knicks. The 23-year-old guard has only played 20 or more minutes in four games this season since returning on Nov. 22. For the season, he's averaging 8.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 threes in 16.5 minutes per game.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Sees 19 minutes in win
Rotowire
Ivey supplied seven points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds and two blocks over 19 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 win over the Cavaliers.
Ivey continues to be used sparingly by Detroit, and that may not change with so much competition for touches. Over his last seven outings, he's seeing 19.0 minutes per game with 8.4 points, 2.3 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 1.4 three-pointers.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Posts 11 points from bench
Rotowire
Ivey amassed 11 points (2-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 112-99 loss to the Clippers.
Although Ivey shot only 20 percent from the floor, he finished as the team's third-highest scorer in the loss. Ivey faces an uphill battle for minutes, as Duncan Robinson is playing well enough to hang onto the starting role, a seat Ivey filled for 30 games last season before suffering a broken fibula. He shows no ill effects from the injury, but the Pistons have kept his usage down with an average of 15.7 minutes over 17 games played.
Ivey supplied 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 19 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 113-109 loss to the Bucks.
The fourth-year guard didn't make his season debut until Nov. 22 after undergoing knee surgery just before the start of the campaign, and Wednesday's 15 points and six dimes were his best efforts in those categories in seven games since rejoining the lineup. Ivey has yet to play more than 20 minutes in a contest as he gets eased back in, but this performance might be a good sign he's ready to take on a bigger workload as the floor general for Detroit's second unit.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Only 15 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Ivey ended Wednesday's 117-114 loss to Boston with seven points (2-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes.
Ivey continues to be brought along slowly, having now played no more than 15 minutes in all three games since returning from injury. Although his playing time is likely to increase, it is unclear whether he will push back into the starting lineup. He is probably worth holding for at least another couple of games, just in case things turn around sooner rather than later.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Good to go Monday
Rotowire
Ivey (reconditioning) is available for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Ivey was previously listed as probable for Monday's contest and will suit up as expected. The guard made his season debut Saturday after missing the Pistons' first 15 regular-season games following arthroscopic right knee surgery in training camp and delivered 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal in 15 minutes. Detroit will likely continue to monitor Ivey's health and gradually ramp up both his minutes and usage.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Probable for Monday
Rotowire
Ivey is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Pacers due to reconditioning.
After undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in mid-October and missing the first 15 games of the regular season, Ivey made his season debut in Saturday's win over the Bucks, posting 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal across 15 minutes off the bench. The 23-year-old guard is likely to suit up again Monday, though he's still expected to face heavy restrictions if he's cleared to play.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Ivey (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game in Milwaukee.
This is the first time that Ivey has received the questionable tag since undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery back in October, so he appears to be on the cusp of a return. He'll likely have some heavy minutes restrictions as he's eased back into things, but Ivey will likely chip away at Daniss Jenkins and Caris LeVert's minutes once he's fully up to speed.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Recalled to NBA
Rotowire
The Pistons recalled Ivey (knee) from the G League's Motor City Cruise on Thursday.
Ivey spent a couple of days in the G League in order to get some practice reps in and improve his conditioning. Depending on how his knee responds, his season debut could be in the near future.

Pistons' Jaden Ivey: Out at least four weeks
Rotowire
The Pistons announced Thursday that Ivey underwent an arthroscopic procedure to relieve right knee discomfort and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
The procedure and discomfort are unrelated to the fibula injury Ivey suffered last season, per the Pistons' press release, but this is still a massive hit to Detroit's backcourt, which also lost Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway this offseason. In Ivey's absence, Caris LeVert (undisclosed), Duncan Robinson, Ronald Holland, Marcus Sasser and Chaz Lanier are all candidates for increased roles to start the season.

Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Ivey is "working through some things" and won't be available for the final preseason game, along with Caris LeVert (undisclosed). It sounds like this is a precautionary measure for both players to ensure they are ready for the regular-season opener against the Bulls on Oct. 22.
