Doesn't practice Tuesday Duren (ankle) did not practice Tuesday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Impact Given Duren's absence from practice, there's a strong chance he won't play Wednesday against the Bulls. His absence would likely lead to a bigger role for James Wiseman again.

Ruled out Monday Duren (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Duren continues to deal with bilateral ankle soreness and will be unavailable for a second consecutive game. Isaiah Stewart (hip) is questionable, so the Pistons could be especially shorthanded in the frontcourt. James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley should see increased run in Duren's absence.

Won't play Saturday Duren has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Raptors due to bilateral ankle soreness.

Impact Duren tweaked his ankle before the All-Star break, but the issue hasn't caused him to miss time until now. In his absence, James Wiseman figures to get his first start as a Piston, while Isaiah Livers and Marvin Bagley (hand) could see sizable roles off the bench. Duren's next chance to suit up will come Monday in Charlotte.

Skipping Rising Stars due to injury Duren will not partake in the Rising Stars Challenge due to an ankle injury, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Duren tweaked his ankle in Sunday's game versus the Raptors but played Tuesday and doesn't seem to face any long-term concerns. Still, the rookie will sit out the All-Star festivities to rest up, and he will instead focus on being ready for the start of the second half.

Back to start second half Duren (ankle) started the second half of Sunday's game against the Raptors, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Duren suffered a right ankle sprain after landing on the foot of the Raptors' Precious Achiuwa during the second quarter and was deemed questionable to return. However, it appears Duren received some treatment at halftime and will be good to go for the second half. He finished the first half with just one point and two rebounds in 11 minutes before leaving the contest.

Tweaks ankle Sunday Duren suffered a right ankle injury midway through the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Raptors and is questionable to return for the second half.

Impact Per Mike Curtis of The Detroit News, Duren appeared to suffer the injury in question when he backpedaled into the foot of the Raptors' Precious Achiuwa and landed awkwardly. If Duren is unable to finish the game, the Pistons would likely have to turn to power forward Isaiah Stewart to cover most of the minutes at center the rest of the way, given that Nerlens Noel (personal) and Marvin Bagley (hand) are out and trade-deadline pickup James Wiseman isn't yet available to make his Detroit debut. Duren tallied one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes before exiting the contest.

Eastern Conference Recaps, Feb. 10: Jalen Duren's Big Game Gave The Detroit Pistons A Victory Against San Antonio Spurs Duren finished with career-highs in points (30) and blocks (four)

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Dominates in double-OT victory Duren racked up 30 points (13-20 FG, 4-9 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal over 42 minutes during Friday's 138-131 double-overtime win over the Spurs.

Impact Duren had easily the best game of his young career Friday, becoming just the fourth teenager in history to record a 30-and-15 game. He added a combined five steals and blocks, taking advantage of the fact he was up against inferior opposition. With James Wiseman slated to come into the rotation, assuming the proposed trade is approved, Duren's role moving forward remains a little clouded. With that said, common sense should prevail, meaning he sees at least 28 minutes on most nights, making him a clear must-roster player.

Big rebounding night Monday Duren amassed seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 FT) and 14 rebounds in 28 minutes during Monday's 111-99 loss to the Celtics.

Impact The teenage rookie has been predictably inconsistent as a fantasy asset, but Duren's upside has also been tantalizing. He's recorded double-digit boards in six of 11 games since the beginning of January, averaging 11.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.1 blocks over that stretch while shooting 73.9 percent from the floor and an encouraging 75.9 percent from the free-throw line.

Highly efficient in win Duren ended Thursday's 130-122 win over the Nets with 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes.

Impact Duren only missed one shot in the contest, and that came with less than four minutes left in the fourth quarter. The center went 3-of-3 from the field for eight points in the first half, adding four rebounds and an assist before going 4-of-5 over the final two quarters to finish third on the team with 17 points. Duren has now scored in double figures in five straight, though his seven rebounds on the night were the fewest he's recorded in six games this month.

Huge double-double against Bucks Duren finished with 23 points (9-13 FG, 5-5 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 150-130 loss to the Bucks.

Impact It was the 10th double-double of the season for the rookie lottery pick, as Duren continues to exceed expectations after being viewed as a somewhat raw developmental project. Over his last 18 games, the 19-year-old is averaging 10.4 points, 11.6 boards, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks in 28.2 minutes a night while shooting 69.0 percent from the floor.

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.
