Jalen Duren News, Rumors, Updates - Detroit Pistons

Strong start to sophomore season Duren chipped in 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-3 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and four blocks in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 103-102 loss to the Heat.

Impact Matched up against Bam Adebayo, Duren more than held his own at both ends of the court. The 19-year-old nearly averaged a double-double as a rookie, and while he still doesn't offer much in the way of offensive skills, his numbers should rise in 2023-24 both due to his own physical maturation, and the return of Cade Cunningham to the lineup to give every Pistons a boost.

Starting against OKC Duren (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason contest against the Thunder.

Impact Duren missed the previous preseason contest due to a mild ankle sprain, but he has recovered and is ready to get back into action. He is expected to operate as Detroit's starting center as long as he remains healthy during the regular season.

Has a mild sprain Duren is dealing with a mild ankle sprain and was not able to practice Tuesday, James Edward of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Monty Williams did not sound concerned, but there's no word as to whether or not Duren will play in Thursday's preseason contest against the Thunder. We should have a better indication on Wednesday.

Detroit Pistons' NBA All-Rookie streak continues with Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren Detroit Pistons' Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren both were named NBA All-Rookie second team for 2023.

MAY 8, 2023 • FREEP.COM

Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren made this Pistons season worth it The Pistons won 17 games this season. There's also a chance they have three future All-Stars. That's what rebuilds are about.

APRIL 11, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Limited again Sunday Duren closed with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 loss to Orlando.

Impact The Pistons continue to limit Duren, a decision that certainly raises more than a few questions when it comes to their level of common sense. Despite clearly being the center of the future, the coaching staff are remaining stubborn when it comes to letting him loose. At this point, Duren should be viewed as a viable 12-team asset, albeit one with limited upside thanks to some inept decision making.

APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Modest production Friday Duren chipped in nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Friday's 118-97 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Duren returned after missing the previous game due to a neck concern, logging 25 minutes off the bench. The team continues to play both Duren and James Wiseman at the center position. Even in 25 minutes per night, Duren typically does enough to be rostered in standard leagues.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available Friday Duren (neck) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors.

Impact The rookie will return following a one-game absence after exiting Sunday's loss to the Heat early. In his five prior appearances leading up to Sunday, Duren averaged 12.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 22.0 minutes.

MARCH 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Tuesday Duren (head) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Duren left Sunday's loss to Miami due to a head injury and will miss at least one additional contest. In his absence, Eugene Omoruyi is a candidate for increased minutes behind James Wiseman. Duren's next chance to suit up will come Friday in Toronto.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.
