The Detroit Pistons revealed on Sunday that Jalen Duren, their All-Star center, will be sidelined for a minimum of two additional weeks because of a hamstring injury. The 22-year-old suffered the injury during Detroit's second game of the season, a 128-111 victory over the Miami Heat on October 23.
Having already sat out six games, Duren is projected to miss at least six more contests. Nevertheless, the team indicated that he has received clearance to engage in full basketball participation.
Key Analysis
Duren, who inked a five-year, $200 million contract extension prior to the season, posted impressive averages of 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds during a breakout campaign last year. However, his production dipped to 10.2 points and 8.5 rebounds across 14 playoff appearances.
