Jaden Ivey Returns to Action: Excitement and Victory for the Pistons<\/h2>\n\nDetroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey made his season debut on Saturday night, after being out of the courts for more than ten months and undergoing two surgeries. His return was marked by emotion and the desire to play again.\n\nIn his first regular season game since January 1st, Ivey scored 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting, plus two assists and a steal in 15 minutes off the bench. This contributed to the Pistons’ 129-116 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, the team’s twelfth straight.\n\n\n
\n\n

\u201cI simply cherished the moment of being back out there tonight,\u201d Ivey commented after the game. \u201cBefore I went in, I was trying to take it all in because it\u2019s been a long time. It took me a while to get used to it. Get used to warming up and going through the normal routine again. But I felt a lot of gratitude to be back out there.\u201d<\/p>\n\nJaden Ivey<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nIvey suffered a fibula fracture in his left leg during a game on New Year’s Day, forcing him to miss the rest of last season. He participated in one game during the preseason before discomfort in his right knee required surgery on October 16.\n\n\n

\n\n

\u201cIt’s like seeing him in his natural state,\u201d said Cade Cunningham, Ivey’s teammate. \u201cWith the jersey on, playing, on the court. It’s like seeing him at home. And today he looked good. I thought he looked very comfortable out there. It doesn’t seem like he’s lost as much time as he has. So it’s a credit to his work and the time he’s dedicated to it, but we’re all very happy that he’s back.\u201d<\/p>\n\nCade Cunningham<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe return of Ivey coincides with one of the best moments in Pistons history.\n\nThe 12-game winning streak ties for the third-longest in franchise history. The team record is 13, which has happened twice (in 1989-90 and 2003-04). The Pistons won the NBA championships at the end of each of those seasons.\n\n\n

\n\n

\u201cWhen I last played, it was very different,\u201d Ivey said. \u201cI feel like we found as a team, a niche with the team and just connecting with the guys.\u201d<\/p>\n\nJaden Ivey<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nDetroit also snapped a 13-game losing streak against Milwaukee, who had swept the season series between the two teams in each of the last three seasons. Before Saturday morning’s game, Cunningham reminded his teammates how long it had been since they beat Milwaukee.\n\n\n

\n\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s important,\u201d Cunningham said, who finished with 29 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds. \u201cI don\u2019t think any franchise should have that over us. We take playing for the Pistons seriously. So that\u2019s part of representing this, putting the touch on things like that and starting new streaks in our favor.\u201d<\/p>\n\nCade Cunningham<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Saturday’s victory also highlighted the notable turnaround for Detroit in recent seasons. Two seasons ago, in 2023-24, the Pistons finished with the worst record in the NBA at 14-68. After Saturday’s victory, Detroit has the best record in the Eastern Conference at 14-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

\u201cThe most important thing is that we are still hungry,\u201d said Jalen Duren, Pistons center. \u201cNot everyone here went through it with us, but those who were here really understand and still feel that we have a lot to prove. It feels good. As I keep saying, it’s early in the season, so we’re not anywhere. We still have a long way to go and a lot to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n\nJalen Duren<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
