Jalen Duren News, Rumors, Updates - Detroit Pistons

Claims double-double in return Duren (back) tallied 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists across 25 minutes Wednesday in the Pistons' 106-91 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Duren had missed the Pistons' previous three games with back spasms, but he reclaimed his spot in the starting five and came away with his 40th double-double of the season. He handled a near-even split of the playing time at center with James Wiseman, who logged 23 minutes in the loss. Head coach Monty Williams could opt to keep a rough timeshare between the two in place over the remaining weeks of the season in an effort to preserve Duren's minutes while also continuing to reward Wiseman for his improved play since the All-Star break.

Available to play Duren (back) is available to play Wednesday against Minnesota.

Considered probable Wednesday Duren (back) is probable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota

Impact Duren appears on track to return for three-game absence due to back spasms. If he's able to return, James Wiseman would likely revert to a 15-20 minute role off the bench, although the status of offensive engine Cade Cunningham (knee/rest) is important to monitor as well.

Remains out Monday Duren (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Duren will miss a third straight game due to low back spasms, so James Wiseman should draw another start at center. Duren's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Minnesota.

Ruled out Sunday Duren (back) won't play Sunday against the Pelicans. Johnny Kane of Bally Sports Detroit reports.

Impact As expected, Duren will miss a second straight game with back spasms, and he should be considered questionable (in a best-case scenario) to face the Knicks on Monday in the second half of a back-to-back set. James Wiseman should continue to start at center as long as Duren remains out.

MARCH 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy against New Orleans Duren (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Pelicans.

Impact Duren has registered a double-double in four straight games and ranks ninth in the NBA in that category. He's scored 15-plus points in three-straight games and has gone 23-for-28 from the field in that span.

Impact It was the second time Duren registered at least 20 points, 20 rebounds and five assists in a game, joining Nikola Jokic and Domantas Sabonis as the only players with two of such stat line this season. Duren is now up to 36 double-doubles on the year and the second-year center ranks fifth in the NBA with 11.9 rebounds per game.

Dimed up by Cade Duren closed with 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 114-97 win over the Hornets.

Impact The entirety of Duren's offensive output came off putbacks and dunks, joining Cade Cunningham to form an upside-rich pick-and-roll duo for Detroit's future. Duren missed two dunks in the first half, which seemed to ignite the 20-year-old, who finished with awesome conviction throughout the rest of the contest. He doesn't have the most vertical pop, but Duren's combination of size and athleticism is still off-the-charts.

Impact The second-year center is dominating the glass again, recording double-doubles in seven of the last eight games while averaging 13.4 points, 11.0 boards, 3.1 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 61.2 percent from the floor. Duren is up to 34 double-doubles on the season, good for 10th in the league despite the fact that he's missed 15 of the Pistons' 62 games.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Notches 33rd double-double Tuesday Duren posted 14 points (5-5 FG, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 118-110 loss to Miami.

Impact Duren has been one of the few bright spots for the Pistons this season, along with rising star Cade Cunningham. Duren has registered a double-double in six of his last seven appearances and has averaged 13.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 blocks per game in that span.

MARCH 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double streak continues Duren amassed 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 105-95 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Duren has recorded a double-double in each of Detroit's four games following the All-Star break, and even though the Pistons will ultimately go as far as Cade Cunningham can carry them, the solid two-way play of Duren has also been one of the team's brightest spots this season. Duren is averaging 14.0 points and 12.7 rebounds per game across 11 February appearances while posting eight double-doubles in that stretch.

FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Another double-double Monday Duren amassed 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 113-111 loss to New York.

Impact Duren notched his 30th double of the season Monday, tying him with Jonas Valanciunas for the 11th most league-wide. Detroit was still out rebounded by New York as a team Monday, which signifies Duren's importance to the rotation as a potential cornerstone of the frontcourt.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Posts another double-double Duren logged 16 points (6-7 FG, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 112-109 loss to the Magic.

Impact Another game, another double-double for the big man, who continues to make an impact for the Pistons on both ends of the court. Aside from being extremely efficient with his touches near the rim, Duren was excellent defensively and came just one block shy of tying his season-high output in that category. Duren has five double-doubles over his last seven contests.

FEBRUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Registers double-double Thursday Duren finished with 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Thursday's 129-115 loss to Indiana.

He's averaging career highs with 14.0 points, 12.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists while playing 30.1 minutes per game. Duren should see more minutes over the next two games with Isaiah Stewart serving his suspension.

Jalen Duren and the freedom to explore in the Pistons' offense Jalen Duren is turning into more than just a rim-running, screen-setting big man.

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Career night in OT win Duren racked up 27 points (9-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 22 rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 37 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact The 22 boards were a career high for Duren while the 27 points were a season high, as the second-year center put a shorthanded Pistons roster on his shoulders after a busy trade deadline. Duren has an impressive 26 double-doubles in 36 games this season, and he's scored in double digits in nine straight games, averaging 15.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists over that stretch while shooting 65.6 percent from the floor and 85.2 percent from the free-throw line.

FEBRUARY 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Records double-double in rare win Duren provided 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-6 FT), 15 rebounds and six assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 win over the Kings.

Impact Duren logged his 25th double-double of the season, improving his ranking in the category to a tie for 13th alongside Victor Wembanyama. Duren would probably have even more significant numbers on a better team, but the second-year Memphis product is a solid anchor for the youth movement in Detroit. He's averaged 14.1 points and 11.7 rebounds while shooting 65.1 percent over 35 games.
