Ivey is still working his way back from a fractured fibula, most recently playing 15 minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s loss to the Celtics. The Pistons also play on Saturday against the Heat, so fantasy managers should assume that he’ll miss one of the next two games. Daniss Jenkins may play more minutes after logging just eight on Wednesday.

Ivey followed up Saturday’s 10-point season debut with another double-digit scoring outing on Monday. His 12 minutes of game action against the Pacers were slightly fewer, but he got up more shots and found more production from beyond the arc. Ivey finds himself in an interesting position as a full-time reserve behind a very productive starting backcourt. However, he should have plenty of opportunities to produce as the season progresses, and he potentially starts to play more minutes the further he is removed from the leg injury.

Ivey will make his second appearance of the season on Monday. After logging 14 minutes in his debut on Saturday, the Pistons guard will likely take on a similar workload against the Pacers. Due to the minutes restriction, Ivey is not a must-roster player at this point.

Ivey made his season debut on Saturday, playing 14 minutes off the bench in a win over the Bucks. Fantasy managers should expect a similar approach on Monday, as Ivey had not appeared in a game since New Year’s Day due to a fractured fibula.

For the first time since suffering a fractured fibula on New Year’s Day, Ivey was playing in an official NBA game. While he was not inserted into the starting lineup immediately, as Tobias Harris (ankle) was, that was unsurprising given the time missed. Ivey played 14 minutes and was relatively effective in those moments, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and hitting double figures. His return impacts Daniss Jenkins (7/1/3/1 with one three-pointer) more than any other Pistons guard, with the second-year guard playing 13 minutes. While the Pistons do end Week 6 with a back-to-back, Ivey’s return makes Jenkins surplus to requirements in most fantasy leagues.

Ivey, who hasn’t appeared in a game since New Year’s Day, will be available for Saturday’s game. Given the time missed, his minutes will likely be limited. Slotting Ivey into fantasy lineups immediately isn’t necessary, but he’ll be a valuable perimeter option once the Pistons sort out what is now a crowded rotation.

Ivey missed the first 15 games of the season after having surgery on his right knee. The 23-year-old shooting guard doesn’t have a set return date and only began on-court work last week, but being listed on the injury report as questionable certainly represents progress in his recovery. Even if he is active on Saturday, Ivey would likely be on a minutes limit.

Working his way back from a fractured left fibula suffered during a New Year’s Day game against the Magic, Ivey has been dealing with right knee discomfort during the preseason. While the knee issue is not related to the fractured leg suffered last season, it was problematic enough to result in an arthroscopic procedure that will keep Ivey out for at least four weeks. Duncan Robinson started Detroit’s most recent preseason game, an October 14 loss to Cleveland, and he may be the favorite to hold onto that role when the regular season begins. Ivey’s absence will also boost the fantasy values of Ausar Thompson and Tobias Harris, as both must provide more production.

Monday’s exhibition may not have counted toward official records, but it was a big day for Ivey. The Pistons guard was on the floor in game action for the first time since New Year’s Day, when he suffered a fractured fibula during a game against the Magic. Unsurprisingly, Pistons head coach JB Bickerstaff did not push Ivey or any of the starters too far against the Grizzlies, but the playing time should increase as the regular season gets closer. Before his injury, Ivey shot a career-best 40.9 percent from beyond the arc. While the Pistons did add Duncan Robinson and Caris LeVert during the offseason, they’ll need Ivey to continue on that trajectory, especially with fellow starter Ausar Thompson (5/5/3/2/1) not being much of a perimeter shooter.
