ESPN reports that Ivey had surgery on Thursday and is scheduled for a follow-up appointment in four weeks.  ( moodeng ) 

The 22-year-old injured his left leg after being tackled by Anthony in the cross-country.

Of course, it was strong enough to make the third-year veteran guard clutch his shin and lie on the ground in pain, groaning. He had to stay at the scene for quite some time while waiting for the medical team to bring him out on a stretcher. 

When he saw his fellow professional suffer such a serious injury, Guard Magic unintentionally shed tears, as did teammate Ozark Thompson, who was saddened by the serious injury of his teammate. 

Ivey is averaging career-best 17.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and four assists in 29 games this season. 

The No. 5 overall draft pick in the 2022 class was also named to the All-Rookie Team in 2023. 

The Pistons are now 16-18 and 9th in the East after beating the Charlotte Hornets 98-94 on Friday.
