DETROIT — It’s been nearly a month since Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey underwent an arthroscopic procedure to relieve right knee discomfort before the start of the season.

The Pistons said the former fifth overall pick would be re-evaluated in four weeks and he’s made one of the first moves toward returning to an NBA court for the first time since Jan. 1.

Ivey was seen at shoot around Friday morning ahead of the Pistons’ NBA Cup game against the Philadelphia 76ers and he was actively getting up shots for the first time since his surgery in front of reporters.

While it’s certainly a positive step for Ivey to get back to playing for the Pistons following his broken fibula last season and the knee discomfort last month, Ivey’s not nearing an immediate return to NBA competition.
