Jalen Duren News, Rumors, Updates - Detroit Pistons

Jalen Duren was a man among boys. Now he's a 'freak' among men with Pistons People from Duren's past talk to The Athletic about what the Pistons have in the youngest player in the NBA.

Sustains ankle injury Duren exited Sunday's win over the Warriors due to an apparent ankle injury, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Duren appeared to be in considerable pain after landing awkwardly on his ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game, and he had to be helped off the court prior to walking to the locker room. Prior to his departure, he logged three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and a block in 15 minutes. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Monday against the Bucks.

Unflattering performance Saturday Duren closed Saturday's 124-115 loss to Indiana with six points (3-3 FG), three rebounds and two blocks across 18 minutes.

Impact Duren continues to log consistent minutes for the Pistons, although his production has dwindled since his impressive debut. The rookie did manage a pair of blocked shots to somewhat salvage his evening, barely enough to keep him on standard league rosters. The upside is very apparent but it could be a few weeks, if not months until he is unleashed. He remains a viable asset in standard formats, as long as immediate production is not required.

Pistons' Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart and the forming of a brotherhood Stewart and Duren are thick as thieves, just like other great Pistons frontcourts before them.

Posts double-double off bench Duren finished with 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 113-109 victory over the Magic.

Impact Duren served as the Pistons' backup center during Wednesday's regular-season opener but saw ample playing time with Marvin Bagley (knee) and Nerlens Noel (foot) sidelined. It's possible that the 18-year-old heads to the G League once the Pistons are back to full strength, but he demonstrated during his professional debut Wednesday that he has the ability to make an impact in the NBA.

Pulls down 12 rebounds Thursday Duren produced seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and a block in 19 minutes in Thursday's 126-111 loss to Memphis.

Impact Duren grabbed six boards and scored six points in seven fourth-quarter minutes before fouling out. He has double-digit rebounds in each of his three preseason contests, averaging 12.0 rebounds in 22.7 minutes. With Marvin Bagley (knee) out to start the season and Nerlens Noel (foot) still recovering from injury, Duren could start the regular season as the backup to Isaiah Stewart at center.

John Niyo: Pistons' Jalen Duren 'ready for anything' as NBA opportunity knocks DETROIT — You learn something new every day, particularly when you’re a teenager on an NBA roster.

Grabs 10 boards in loss Duren tallied five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Tuesday's preseason loss to the Thunder.

Impact While the overall production was far from exemplary, the bigger story to come out of the game was the fact Marvin Bagley left after just one minute due to a knee injury. If Bagley is forced to miss the start of the regular season, Duren could be the next man up when it comes to the starting center position. He isn't worth drafting just yet, but should we get word that he will be in the opening unit, he could be worth a late-round flier, at the very least.

Will play Tuesday Coach Dwayne Casey indicated Tuesday that Duren (shoulder) will take part in the evening's contest against the Thunder, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Duren has been battling lingering shoulder soreness the last few days, but it doesn't appear the issue is serious enough to prevent him from taking the floor Tuesday. He didn't play last Friday against the Pelicans but posted 14 points and two boards over 24 minutes against the Knicks last Tuesday.

Returns to practice Monday Duren (shoulder) participated in Monday's practice session, but Pistons head coach Dwane Casey is uncertain if he'll play Tuesday against the Thunder, Omari Sankofa II of the Detro...

Impact Duren missed the Pistons' last preseason game as well as Sunday's practice due to a minor shoulder issue, but it sounds like he has a chance to return to action as early as Tuesday. Barring any setbacks, the rookie shouldn't have any restrictions when the regular season tips off next Wednesday against the Magic.

Dealing with shoulder injury Duren didn't practice Sunday due to shoulder soreness, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Pistons head coach Dwane Casey said Duren's shoulder issue is minor, but it did cause him to miss Friday's preseason game and Sunday's practice. The rookie first-round pick's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Thunder.

Dominates boards Tuesday Duren scored two points (1-3 FG) while adding 14 rebounds and a block in 24 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's preseason loss to the Knicks.

Impact Taken with the 13th overall pick in this year's draft, Duren is viewed as a raw developmental project, but he dominated the glass in his first taste of NBA game action. Not only did the 18-year-old lead all players in rebounding for the night, but he was also the only player on either team to pull down more than seven boards. Duren's offensive game and basketball IQ lag well behind his length and athleticism. Still, if he can continue to make an impact as a rebounder, he could have a more prominent role than expected this season in the Detroit frontcourt.

Resting Thursday Duren will take a day off for rest purposes Thursday, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Duren got off to a decent start to open Summer League, compiling 11.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. The No. 13 overall pick doesn't look to be bothered by an injury, but the big man will take a day of rest. Detroit's scheduled Summer League contests have concluded aside from tournament play during the weekend.

Impact Duren played well in his first action as a member of the Pistons, though his playing time was relatively limited, likely due to the presence of Isaiah Stewart, who played 27 minutes. As Summer League goes along, it seems likely Stewart's minutes will phase out, and Duren will start to be featured more.
