Jalen Duren News, Rumors, Updates - Detroit Pistons

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.

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.

Sitting out Sunday Duren (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Considered a game-time call leading up to the 3 p.m. ET tipoff, Duren's sore right ankle will ultimately keep him out of action for the first time since Nov. 4. Isaiah Stewart is likely to shift over from power forward to serve as the Pistons' starting center in Duren's stead, while Saddiq Bey, Kevin Knox and Nerlens Noel could all be candidates to absorb some of Duren's vacated minutes.

Impact A decision on Duren's status one way or the other should arrive shortly before the 3 p.m. ET opening tip. Duren, who is managing a sore right ankle, has yet to miss any of the Pistons' last 32 games.

Over the last 10 games, Duren has averaged 10.0 points and 12.9 boards a night while shooting 65.6 percent from the floor and a surprising 72.7 percent from the free-throw line, albeit on limited volume. The 19-year-old is developing more quickly than many anticipated after being the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Duren has been a somewhat inconsistent scorer recently, but he's been dominant on the boards, as he's now tallied double-digit rebounds in seven consecutive games. Over that stretch, he's posted four double-doubles and has averaged 10.0 points and 13.7 rebounds in 29.1 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double in loss Duren provided 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 122-113 loss to the Kings.

Impact Duren made the first start of his career, ending with a respectable fantasy line. Although the defense wasn't there, he showed enough to make managers sit up and take notice. It is unclear if this will be a permanent move by the coaching staff, but for now, he should probably be added in just about every league.

DECEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Duren will join the starting unit Friday against the Grizzlies.

Impact Duren will receive his first career start Friday as the Pistons have opted to shift Marvin Bagley, who's struggled recently, to the bench. In 24 appearances this season, Duren has averaged 6.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 21.7 minutes per game and should be worth a look in all formats.

DECEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Notches double-double off bench Duren accumulated 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 104-98 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Duren put together one of his more impressive performances of the 2022-23 campaign, knocking down all five of his attempts from the field while securing a season-high 13 rebounds. The backup center had been held to just four total points over his last two games heading into Wednesday's matchup, but he's scored in double figures in three of his last five appearances.
