It looked bad.
It felt bad.
It’s confirmed bad.
ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey sustained a broken left fibula in the team’s win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. If you missed it, Orlando’s Cole Anthony dove into Ivey’s legs as he tried to get to a loose ball — a reckless and, frankly, stupid act — and the play will likely end the vastly-improved Ivey’s season.
First, you hope Ivey is just dealing with a clean break and no ligament damage. They say a break is better than ligament damage, so, for what it’s worth, that makes this 1% less shitty.
