Jalen Duren News, Rumors, Updates - Detroit Pistons

Won't return Sunday Duren won't return to Sunday's game against the Heat due to a head injury, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Duren played nine minutes off the bench Sunday and tallied two points (1-1 FG), one rebound and one block prior to heading to the locker room in the third quarter. It's unclear whether he'll be available for Tuesday's matchup against Atlanta.

Posts double-double off bench Duren supplied 15 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and three steals over 27 minutes during Thursday's 119-100 loss to Denver.

Impact Duren came off the bench for a fifth consecutive game Thursday, but he posted his third double-double in his last four outings by leading the Pistons in rebounds while posting the second-highest scoring total on the team. Over his five appearances since returning from a six-game absence, he's averaged 12.0 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22.0 minutes per game.

Double-double off bench Monday Duren had 12 points (6-11 FG), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 24 minutes off the bench during Monday's 117-97 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Both Duren and James Wiseman delivered double-doubles Monday, so the Pistons' timeshare at center appears to be working for head coach Dwane Casey. Duren has 14 double-doubles in 55 games on the season, and since returning from an ankle injury, he appears comfortable coming off the bench, averaging 12.0 points, 10.3 boards, 2.0 assists and 1.7 blocks over the last three games in 21.7 minutes a night.

Per-minute darling Duren racked up 16 points (4-8 FG, 8-10 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 20 minutes during Saturday's 121-115 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Duren stuffed the box score despite logging just 20 minutes. The rookie's 10 free-throw attempts marked a season high, and his accuracy was excellent. He's shooting just 62.6 percent from the line this season, but performances like Saturday symbolize the upside Duren flashes on a nightly basis.

MARCH 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Approaches double-double in return Duren (ankle) finished Thursday's 113-103 loss to the Hornets with eight points (4-8 FG), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 21 minutes.

Impact Suiting up for the first time since Feb. 23 after missing the Pistons' previous six games with bilateral ankle soreness, Duren came off the bench and was on the short end of a playing-time split at center with starter James Wiseman (27 minutes). With Marvin Bagley seemingly set to see most of his opportunities at power forward in the absence of Isaiah Stewart (shoulder), a Duren/Wiseman timeshare at center could be in place for the foreseeable future. The arrangement limits the upside of both centers, though the stat line Duren provided Thursday is enough to give him low-end value in 12-team category leagues.

MARCH 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench in return Duren (ankle) will come off the bench during Thursday's matchup against the Hornets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Thursday will mark Duren's second time coming off the bench since Dec. 9, as it appears the coaching staff may have handed the starting job to James Wiseman. It's possible coach Dwane Casey experiments with some Wiseman/Duren frontcourt pairings, but both players are interior-focused centers, so it could get clunky.

MARCH 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact As expected, Duren will return following a six-game absence due to soreness in both ankles. It remains to be seen if he will start, as reports indicate that the Pistons traded for James Wiseman with the intent to start him, and both players are centers.

MARCH 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to return Thursday Duren (ankle) is probable for Thursday's matchup against the Hornets.

Impact Duren has missed the past six games due to soreness in both ankles, but the rookie should return Thursday. The move could push James Wiseman back to the bench, though the staff did mention the team added Wiseman with the intent to start him. Don't be surprised if coach Dwane Casey starts experimenting down the stretch, especially with Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) possibly being shut down for the rest of the season.

MARCH 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Tuesday Duren (ankle) is unavailable for Tuesday's tilt against the Wizards.

Impact Sore ankles will keep the rookie shelved for a sixth straight contest. A bloated injury report for the Pistons should continue to lead to more minutes for other frontcourt options like James Wiseman, Marvin Bagley and Isaiah Livers.

MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Monday Duren (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Duren continues to deal with bilateral ankle soreness and will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game. He practiced Friday, but it's unclear when he'll be able to return to game action. Isaiah Stewart (hip) will also remain out, so James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley should see plenty of run in the frontcourt.

MARCH 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Missing fourth straight Duren (ankle) is out for Saturday's game versus the Cavaliers.

Impact Bilateral ankle soreness will keep the rookie shelved for a fourth straight game. With Isaiah Stewart (hip) out as well, James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley should continue handling plenty of extra frontcourt minutes.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Practices Friday Duren (ankle) participated in Friday's practice session, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Duren has missed the last three games due to bilateral ankle soreness, but his return to practice is encouraging. It's unclear whether he'll be available Saturday against Cleveland, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.

MARCH 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Duren (ankle) is out Wednesday against the Bulls.

Impact Duren will miss a third straight game while dealing with sore ankles. In his absence, James Wiseman should continue seeing an expanded role.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Tuesday Duren (ankle) did not practice Tuesday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Given Duren's absence from practice, there's a strong chance he won't play Wednesday against the Bulls. His absence would likely lead to a bigger role for James Wiseman again.

FEBRUARY 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Monday Duren (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Duren continues to deal with bilateral ankle soreness and will be unavailable for a second consecutive game. Isaiah Stewart (hip) is questionable, so the Pistons could be especially shorthanded in the frontcourt. James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley should see increased run in Duren's absence.

Won't play Saturday Duren has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Raptors due to bilateral ankle soreness.

Impact Duren tweaked his ankle before the All-Star break, but the issue hasn't caused him to miss time until now. In his absence, James Wiseman figures to get his first start as a Piston, while Isaiah Livers and Marvin Bagley (hand) could see sizable roles off the bench. Duren's next chance to suit up will come Monday in Charlotte.

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.

FEBRUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.
