PISTONS 105, MAGIC 96

Jaden Ivey sustained what appeared to be a serious leg injury after scoring 22 points in Detroit’s victory over Orlando.

With 10:07 to play and Detroit leading 84-79, Ivey and Orlando’s Cole Anthony were going for the ball when Anthony slipped and fell. His momentum carried him into Ivey’s planted leg, and the 22-year-old immediately fell to the floor, grabbing his left shin in obvious agony.

After a lengthy delay, Ivey was placed on a stretcher and wheeled off the floor.
