Members of the training staff held up towels to block the crowd's view of the injury and players from both teams formed a circle around him. After a lengthy delay, he was loaded onto a stretcher and wheeled out of the arena with a towel covering the injury.
Players from both teams consoled both Ivey and Anthony, who was noticeably shaken by the play.
“It is tough for all of us,” Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said after Detroit's 105-96 victory. “There's no better person or teammate than J.I. and no one cares more about this than he does. I give the guys credit for getting it done - they care about him and they didn't want to let him down.”
Ivey led the Pistons with 22 points.
