Set to play Thursday Duren (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus Orlando.

Impact Duren tweaked his ankle against the Raptors and didn't play in the Rising Stars Challenge but is available Thursday. The rookie big man is averaging 11.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in 28.4 minutes across his last five appearances.

Skipping Rising Stars due to injury Duren will not partake in the Rising Stars Challenge due to an ankle injury, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Duren tweaked his ankle in Sunday's game versus the Raptors but played Tuesday and doesn't seem to face any long-term concerns. Still, the rookie will sit out the All-Star festivities to rest up, and he will instead focus on being ready for the start of the second half.

Back to start second half Duren (ankle) started the second half of Sunday's game against the Raptors, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Duren suffered a right ankle sprain after landing on the foot of the Raptors' Precious Achiuwa during the second quarter and was deemed questionable to return. However, it appears Duren received some treatment at halftime and will be good to go for the second half. He finished the first half with just one point and two rebounds in 11 minutes before leaving the contest.

Tweaks ankle Sunday Duren suffered a right ankle injury midway through the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Raptors and is questionable to return for the second half.

Impact Per Mike Curtis of The Detroit News, Duren appeared to suffer the injury in question when he backpedaled into the foot of the Raptors' Precious Achiuwa and landed awkwardly. If Duren is unable to finish the game, the Pistons would likely have to turn to power forward Isaiah Stewart to cover most of the minutes at center the rest of the way, given that Nerlens Noel (personal) and Marvin Bagley (hand) are out and trade-deadline pickup James Wiseman isn't yet available to make his Detroit debut. Duren tallied one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes before exiting the contest.

Eastern Conference Recaps, Feb. 10: Jalen Duren's Big Game Gave The Detroit Pistons A Victory Against San Antonio Spurs Duren finished with career-highs in points (30) and blocks (four)

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Dominates in double-OT victory Duren racked up 30 points (13-20 FG, 4-9 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal over 42 minutes during Friday's 138-131 double-overtime win over the Spurs.

Impact Duren had easily the best game of his young career Friday, becoming just the fourth teenager in history to record a 30-and-15 game. He added a combined five steals and blocks, taking advantage of the fact he was up against inferior opposition. With James Wiseman slated to come into the rotation, assuming the proposed trade is approved, Duren's role moving forward remains a little clouded. With that said, common sense should prevail, meaning he sees at least 28 minutes on most nights, making him a clear must-roster player.

Big rebounding night Monday Duren amassed seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 FT) and 14 rebounds in 28 minutes during Monday's 111-99 loss to the Celtics.

Impact The teenage rookie has been predictably inconsistent as a fantasy asset, but Duren's upside has also been tantalizing. He's recorded double-digit boards in six of 11 games since the beginning of January, averaging 11.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks over that stretch while shooting 73.9 percent from the floor and an encouraging 75.9 percent from the free-throw line.

Highly efficient in win Duren ended Thursday's 130-122 win over the Nets with 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes.

Impact Duren only missed one shot in the contest, and that came with less than four minutes left in the fourth quarter. The center went 3-of-3 from the field for eight points in the first half, adding four rebounds and an assist before going 4-of-5 over the final two quarters to finish third on the team with 17 points. Duren has now scored in double figures in five straight, though his seven rebounds on the night were the fewest he's recorded in six games this month.

Huge double-double against Bucks Duren finished with 23 points (9-13 FG, 5-5 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 150-130 loss to the Bucks.

Impact It was the 10th double-double of the season for the rookie lottery pick, as Duren continues to exceed expectations after being viewed as a somewhat raw developmental project. Over his last 18 games, the 19-year-old is averaging 10.4 points, 11.6 boards, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks in 28.2 minutes a night while shooting 69.0 percent from the floor.

Records ninth double-double Duren (ankle) amassed 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes during Thursday's 126-108 loss to the Bulls in Paris.

Impact Back in action for the first time since Jan. 6 after missing five straight games with a sore ankle, Duren came off the bench, likely so that head coach Dwane Casey could better manage his minutes. Duren performed well during his time on the court Thursday and could reclaim his usual starting role when the Pistons return to the United States for a home date with the Bucks on Monday.

Coming off bench Thursday Duren isn't starting Thursday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Duren will be able to return from a five-game absence due to an ankle injury in Paris on Thursday. However, even though he started in his 15 appearances prior to his absence, he'll come off the bench against the Bulls while Bojan Bogdanovic and Isaiah Stewart start in the frontcourt.

Available against Bulls Duren (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Duren was considered questionable for Thursday's matchup, but he'll be able to play through his ankle issue during the Pistons' game in Paris. He's missed the last five games, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction against Chicago.

Questionable Thursday Duren (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls in Paris.

Impact Duren didn't make the initial trip to France with the Pistons on Monday after misplacing his passport, but he arrived in Paris on Wednesday. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return from a five-game absence due to right ankle soreness. Even if he's cleared to play against the Bulls, it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction.

JANUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Arrives in Paris Duren (ankle) secured a passport and arrived in Paris on Wednesday ahead of the Pistons' game Thursday against the Bulls, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Pistons traveling party made the trip to France on Monday, but Duren was left behind after he misplaced his passport. Though he's since resolved the matter, Duren wasn't able to participate in Tuesday's practice, leaving his availability for Thursday's contest uncertain. Duren had already missed the Pistons' last five games with a sore right ankle, but even if he's made a full recovery from that injury, it's possible he's available for only limited minutes Thursday if Detroit gives him the green light to play.

Uncertain to make trip to France Duren (ankle) didn't travel with the Pistons to France on Monday ahead of their upcoming game Thursday against the Bulls in Paris, but the center is hoping to arrive in time for th...

Impact A sore right ankle had kept Duren from playing in each of the Pistons' last five games, but according to Edwards, a misplaced passport is the reason behind why he didn't travel with the team to France. The team is working toward getting Duren a new passport so he can join the team by Thursday, but since he'll miss out on an opportunity to practice Tuesday, he's looking unlikely to be available even if he arrives in time for Thursday's game. If that's the case, Isaiah Stewart could be in line for another start at center, allowing players like Saddiq Bey, Isaiah Livers and Kevin Knox to see more time at forward.
