Jeff Teague is as honest as they come. The former NBA All-Star recently linked up with the Detroit Pistons<\/a> guard Jaden Ivey for an offseason hoops session, and didn\u2019t hold back about what Ivey brought to the table.<\/p>\n

Teague was complimentary of the Pistons\u2019 young star. While Teague admittedly still had scoring moments against Ivey and got his fair share of trash talk in, the 37-year-old left the session motivated to get back to working out frequently again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t let no youngster cook me,\u201d Teague said on the \u2018Club 520\u2019 show.<\/p>\n

I was like, “He can’t guard me.” He came down so fast, swung. I was like, “Yeah, I’m cooked.” I went home thinking about that.\u201c <\/p>\n

\u201cShoutout to the young boy, Jaden Ivey. I started talking crazy to him yesterday when we was hooping. He couldn\u2019t guard me, for real,\u201d Teague said, with some sarcasm. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s like a grown man out there. I hit a shot on him. I was like, \u2018He can\u2019t guard me!\u2019 He came down so fast, swung. I was like, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019m cooked.\u2019 I went home thinking about that. I was like, I\u2019m really cooked. I was about to start playing basketball again.\u201d<\/p>\n

At this point, Ivey should be ready to roll for training camp in October. After he went down with a leg injury on the first day of 2025, Ivey spent the remainder of the 2024-2025 NBA season. He was cleared for basketball activities during the Pistons\u2019 playoff run, but there wasn\u2019t enough time to get him back in the mix.<\/p>\n

Soon, Ivey will get a chance to start working on his 2025-2026 campaign. The way he played last season has fans and the organization excited for what he\u2019s able to bring to the table with a slightly new-look roster.<\/p>\n

In 30 games last year, Ivey saw the court for an average of 30 minutes. He produced 18 points per game, while shooting career-highs from the field (46 percent) and beyond the arc (41 percent). <\/p>\n

Along with his scoring, Ivey dished out four assists per game, and came down with four rebounds per game.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old was missing from Detroit\u2019s first playoff run since the start of the Cade Cunningham era. The team believes he could be key in helping them push past the second round next season, if all goes well in the health department after his major setback.<\/p>\n
