Jaden Ivey injures leg in 4th quarter in Pistons' victory over the Magic

DETROIT (AP) — Jaden Ivey sustained what appeared to be a serious leg injury after scoring 22 points in the Detroit Pistons' 105-96 victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night.

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.

The Magic had scored the first four points of the quarter, but Tim Hardaway Jr. scored nine points in the next 6:30 to give the Pistons a 99-90 lead.

Cade Cunningham added 19 points and nine assists for the Pistons, who have won four of five. Jalen Duren added 18 points and 11 rebounds to help Detroit overcome 24 turnovers.

Jalen Suggs had 24 points for Orlando, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 21. The Magic have lost six of nine.

Magic: Orlando has five players who attended college in Michigan, but former Michigan Wolverines Franz (oblique) and Moritz Wagner (knee) are out with long-term injuries. Caleb Houston and Jett Howard also went to Michigan, and Gary Harris attended Michigan State.

Pistons: Cunningham (knee) didn't attack the glass as much as he does when completely healthy — he only had two rebounds in the first half — but didn't seem limited while cutting and driving.

The Pistons led 73-55 with nine minutes left in the third quarter and appeared to be cruising to an easy victory. However, the Magic went on a 20-7 run to cut it to 80-75.

Detroit turned the ball over eight times in eight minutes to help Orlando get back into the game, but scored the final four points of the quarter to take a nine-point lead.

Caldwell-Pope had 14 points on 5-for-5 shooting in the first half, hitting three 3-pointers. His teammates were 13 of 39 overall and 0 of 10 from behind the arc.

Both teams are back in action Friday. Orlando is at Toronto, and Detroit is home against Charlotte.

Israel struck tents outside two major hospitals in the Gaza Strip overnight, killing at least two people, including a local reporter, and wounding nine, including six reporters, Palestinian medics said.

Separate strikes killed 15 others across the Strip, according to hospitals.

The war, now in its 18th month, started when Hamas-led militants stormed into Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, and taking 251 others hostage. The group still holds 59 captives — 24 of whom are believed to be alive.

Israel's retaliatory offensive in the territory has killed over 50,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

Here is the latest:

In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, shops were closed on Monday and there were few cars on the streets of Ramallah where the Western-backed Palestinian Authority is headquartered.

Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war, and the Palestinians want it to form the main part of their future state. The Palestinian Authority administers population centers with limited autonomy.

French President Emmanuel Macron has also urged the lifting of Israel’s blockade on humanitarian aid.

Macron was in Cairo on Monday to meet with President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and later with Jordan’s King Abdullah II, close Western allies, who are also calling for a ceasefire.

Israel ended its truce with Hamas last month and cut off all imports of food, fuel and humanitarian aid to the territory’s 2 million Palestinians to try and pressure Hamas to accept new terms in their ceasefire agreement.

Egypt and the Gulf nation of Qatar have served as key mediators with Hamas.

The military said Monday that soldiers killed the teen who endangered motorists on a road in the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said Sunday that a Palestinian-American teen was killed in the incident and two others were injured, one in critical condition.

The violence occurred near Turmus Aya, a town with a sizable population of Palestinian-Americans.

The strike hit a media tent outside Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, setting it ablaze, killing Yousef al-Faqawi, a reporter for the Palestine Today news website and another man. The six reporters were wounded in that strike.

The Israeli military said it struck a Hamas militant, without providing further information.

Israel also struck tents on the edge of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza.

Nasser Hospital also said it received 13 bodies, including six women and four children, from separate strikes overnight. Al-Aqsa Hospital said two people were killed and three wounded in a strike on a home in Deir al-Balah.
