It was another difficult start to an NBA season for the Detroit Pistons. After 33 games, the team has an 8-25 record, which is the worst in the league. Additionally, Detroit lost pro Cade Cunningham to season-ending shin surgery as a sophomore, and the wins have been hard to come by. The Pistons are 3-7 in their last 10 games and are on a three-game losing streak. Last night, this Pistons player became the first rookie to score 30 points or more in a game since the legendary Grant Hill.
Detroit’s rookie PG Jaden Ivey scored 30 points in the game in their 126-111 loss to the Utah Jazz last night. He was the first Pistons rookie to do the feat since Grant Hill. Ivey was the fifth overall draft pick this season and the team will be asking a lot of him with Cunningham out for the season. He is only the fourth Pistons rookie to score 30 or more points in a game.

Jaden Ivey has a career-high 30 points against the Utah Jazz
In her loss to Jazz last night, Ivey had 30 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal in the game. He went 10-14 from the field and 8-11 from the free throw line. The rookie had this to say about his performance last night.
“I just try to improve in every game, whether defensive or offensive,” Ivey said after the game. “I’m just playing with my energy, my speed and just trying to do what I can do to help this team. I feel like as a team we just need to stay focused together.” – Jaden Ivey
Ivey will have a real chance to prove why he finished fifth overall this season. He’s still adjusting to the NBA’s style of play and pace, but he has a chance to become a cornerstone of the franchise if he can continue to perform like last night.
