Pistons g shares progress in Broken Ben Rehab

On February 6, 2025By Littum

Detroit Piston’s Guard Jaden Iive Shared an injury update on his progress during his ongoing rehabilitation from a broken fibula.

Pistons’ third-year guard sent a video about his Instagram story about him slowly going underwater on Tuesday with a caption that said, “Lord knows I needed this to happen because he prepares me.”

He has been off the field since January 1st, when Orlando Magic Guard Cole Anthony Dove for a loose ball and collided with Iive’s legs, resulting in a broken fibula in his left leg.

He immediately underwent an operation the next morning and would be reassessed a month later. Medical experts told the Free Press athletes typically to take 4-6 months to fully recover from broken fibules, which would put Iivey’s return closer to May.

Earlier this week, Piston’s head coach JB Bickerstaff refused to give a timeline upon his return. Iive also sent a photo on Instagram with his son where he was wearing a hiking boot.

Iivey, 2022 No. 5 overall election, was in the middle of his best year as a professional before he was injured. He average 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and four assists per Battle while shooting 40.9% from 3. He looked comfortable in backcourt next to Cade Cunningham and also orchestrated the violation with the bench.

The stamps that came in Wednesday tied with Miami Heat to sixth in the eastern conference playoffs have been 10-7 since Iive went down. The stamps slipped the second-year wing-Ausar Thompson into his place at the beginning of five, which has made the defense be frowned a bit, and Marcus Sasser is the primary ball trader behind Cunningham.

Aquatic Therapy is a common step in the recovery process of bone fractures or pauses since Water buoyancy reduces the amount of weight bearing on a person during physical activities. Detroit Lions defensive than Aidan Hutchinson also shared a video of his aquatic therapy in late December while recovering from breaking his tibia and fibula in October.
