Impact Duren led all Pistons in rebounds while ending as one of five players with a double-digit point total to end as the lone player with a double-double in a losing effort. Duren has posted a double-double in 21 games this season, including in 13 of his last 15 appearances.

Another double-double in loss Duren registered 16 points (8-14 FG, 0-1 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Duren led all Pistons in rebounds to go along with a trio of assists and finishign as one of five players with a double-digit point total in a double-double performance. Duren posted his 20th double-double of the year, now having recorded a double-double in 13 of his last 15 outings.

Big double-double in win Duren notched 20 points (8-8 FG, 4-5 FT), 19 rebounds, four assists and one block in 26 minutes during Monday's 129-117 victory over the Wizards.

Impact The second-year center tied his career high in boards as he continued an impressive run in the Detroit frontcourt. Over 11 games since returning from an ankle injury, Duren has racked up nine double-doubles while averaging 16.3 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting 68.5 percent from the floor and an eye-popping 81.8 percent from the free-throw line -- a mark more than 20 points higher than his 61.1 percent shooting from the charity stripe as a rookie. Duren's rapid skill growth could end up making the 20-year-old one of the steals of the 2022 NBA Draft.

Another double-double Wednesday Duren posted 21 points (10-16 FG, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 130-108 loss to San Antonio.

Impact The second-year center continues to come up big, notching eight double-doubles in nine games since returning to the lineup right after Christmas from an ankle injury. Over that stretch, Duren is averaging 16.0 points, 12.1 boards and 2.6 assists while shooting 67.0 percent from the floor and 84.6 percent from the free-throw line.

Victor Wembanyama has 1st NBA triple-double for Spurs in 130-108 win against Pistons

Victor Wembanyama recorded his first NBA triple-double and led the Spurs to a 130-108 win against the Pistons on Wednesday night.

JANUARY 11

Notches double-double vs. Kings Duren logged 16 points (8-14 FG), 10 rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 131-110 loss to the Kings.

Impact Duren registered his 17th double-double of the season in Tuesday's loss, and he is two off of tying his mark in 2022-23. He's registered a double-double in 10 of his last 11 games and is averaging 15.2 points on 70.6 percent shooting, 11.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 31.4 minutes per game over that span.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Puts up 20 points in defeat Duren chipped in 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 131-114 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Duren had the daunting task of dealing with Nikola Jokic on both ends of the field, so in a way, his final stat line was quite decent. Even though he saw his double-double streak snap at nine games, it's worth noting this 20-point outing was his second-best mark of the entire campaign. Duren should be in line for another tough matchup Tuesday against Domantas Sabonis and the Kings.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Records double-double in loss Duren contributed 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during Friday's 113-109 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Duren has recorded six consecutive double-doubles since returning from an eight-game absence, and the Memphis product is a bright spot in an otherwise horrible outlooks for the Pistons. Duren and Cade Cunningham create an excellent core to build around, and both players are viable fantasy targets despite Detroit's fortunes. Formats that reward double-double performances should have Duren at the top of their wish list.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Posts another double-digit outing Duren posted 12 points (6-7 FG), 13 rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Monday's 136-113 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Duren led all players in Monday's contest in rebounds while finishing as one of five Pistons with a double-digit point total and ending as the lone player with a double-double. Duren has been strong offensively and on the boards as of late, posting a double-double in seven straight contests and on 14 occasions this year.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive double-double Duren accumulated 18 points (6-11 FG, 6-6 FT), 17 rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Saturday's 129-127 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Duren was a rebounding machine but also responded on offense when needed, and the big man posted his sixth straight double-doubles. Injuries have slowed Duren down following an impressive start to the season, but he has been outstanding when available with averages of 13.0 points and 11.7 rebounds per contest. His numbers have been dramatically better than the ones of his rookie year.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles across 40 minutes Duren posted 15 points (5-6 FG, 5-6 FT), 14 rebounds and two assists in 40 minutes during Thursday's 128-122 overtime loss to the Celtics.

Impact Duren has looked fantastic over the past two games since returning from an ankle injury, totaling 27 points, 19 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block. Detroit has been more competitive than usual over the pair of games, with Thursday's overtime loss against a team as strong as Boston representing a step in the right direction. Duren has appeared in only 16 games this season, but he's double-doubled in 12.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles in return Duren recorded 12 points (6-11 FG), 15 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 118-112 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Duren returned to action after missing 19 consecutive games due to an ankle injury. Despite the absence, he played a significant role right out of the gate, logging 33 minutes as a starter. While this was the 27th straight loss for the Pistons, the return of Duren was a real positive for fantasy managers. Clearly, he should be activated in all formats moving forward.

DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in return Duren (ankle) is cleared to play and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Duren went through Detroit's full slate of morning shootaround and pregame warm-ups Tuesday, and he's officially cleared for action following a 19-game absence. Despite rejoining the starting lineup, Duren topping out at 20-25 minute workload isn't implausible given his lengthy absence. He is averaging 28.9 minutes per game across 14 appearances this season.

DECEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Tuesday Duren (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Duren has been sidelined since Dec. 6 and has appeared in just six of Detroit's last 19 games. While he's expected to play Tuesday, Duren will likely face strict restrictions after missing so much time.

DECEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Saturday Duren (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against the Nets.

Impact Duren has been sidelined since Dec. 6, but he's getting closer to a return and is expected to be re-evaluated after Christmas. His next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against Brooklyn.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Considered doubtful for Saturday Duren (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Nets.

Impact Duren hasn't played since Dec. 6, and the Pistons announced Dec. 10 that he'd be re-evaluated in two weeks. He resumed light on-court work this week and appears to be nearing a return, but Duren will likely remain out for at least one more game. Following Saturday's matchup in Brooklyn, Detroit will travel home for a rematch against the Nets on Tuesday. Duren can be considered questionable for that contest until the official injury report drops Monday.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing ramp-up process Coach Monty Williams said Wednesday that Duren (ankle) has resumed light court work and will begin a ramp-up process soon, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams said Monday that Duren hasn't yet resumed practicing, but the center appears to have progressed over the past few days. He'll presumably be sidelined for at least a few more games while he works on regaining his conditioning, but a return in late December or early January seems possible.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Coach Monty Williams said Monday that Duren (ankle) still isn't practicing, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Duren has struggled to stay healthy this season, missing five straight contests while appearing in just 14 of Detroit's first 26 games. The Pistons announced Dec. 10 that Duren would be re-evaluated in two weeks, so another substantial update should be coming soon, though he'll presumably have to log a couple of full practices before he's cleared to suit up again. With Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) also banged up recently, Marvin Bagley and James Wiseman have garnered increased roles in Detroit's frontcourt.

Out two-plus weeks The Pistons announced Tuesday that Duren will be re-evaluated in two weeks after he suffered a left ankle sprain in Wednesday's 116-102 loss to the Grizzlies, Omari Sankofa II of t...

Impact Shams Charania of The Athletic initially reported Thursday that Duren was expected to miss two weeks due to the ankle injury, but the Pistons relayed later that day that the two-week mark was merely the point in which the second-year center would be re-evaluated. As a result, fantasy managers who are holding Duren while he recovers from his injury should brace for the possibility that his absence stretches into the final week of December, if not January. While Duren was out for the Pistons' most recent game Friday versus Orlando, Marvin Bagley started at center but exited with a back injury and is now listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Pacers. The Pistons could turn to Isaiah Stewart and James Wiseman to fill most of the minutes at center versus Indiana.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to miss two weeks The Pistons indicated Thursday that Duren (ankle) is expected to miss approximately two weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Duren sprained his left ankle during Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, and the issue will cost him multiple weeks. The 20-year-old has dealt with injuries to both ankles early in the season, as he missed seven games in November due to ankle issues, including a stretch of five consecutive matchups in the middle of the month. It's a significant blow for the Pistons, who will presumably rely on James Wiseman, Marvin Bagley and Isaiah Stewart to fill in during Duren's absence.

DECEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Orlando Duren is listed as out for Friday's game versus the Magic due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Duren will miss Friday's contest due to an ankle injury he suffered against Memphis. The second-year big man's absence will be a big blow to Detroit and likely result in increased minutes for Marvin Bagley and James Wiseman. Duren's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Indiana.

Suffers injury against Memphis Duren recorded 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds and one block in 30 minutes before suffering an apparent ankle injury in Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies, James L. Edw...

Impact According to Pistons' coach Monty Williams, the severity of Duren's injury is uncertain. The Pistons should provide an update on the 20-year-old center's availability ahead of Friday's matchup with Orlando. If Duren is forced to miss any time, James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley would likely receive increased minutes.
