Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren sidelined for additional two weeks with hamstring injury

The Detroit Pistons have confirmed that center Jalen Duren will remain sidelined for at least another two weeks as he continues his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury. The 22-year-old, who has already missed six consecutive games, is expected to be unavailable for at least six more contests while the team manages his recovery.

Duren sustained the injury during the early stages of the current campaign, specifically during Detroit’s 128-111 victory against the Miami Heat on October 23. Despite the extended absence, the organization provided a positive update regarding his progress, noting that the center has now been cleared to resume full basketball participation.

During his breakout campaign last year, Duren averaged 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. His production saw a slight adjustment during the postseason, where he recorded 10.2 points and 8.5 rebounds across 14 playoff appearances. The team will look to integrate him back into the rotation once he has completed the next phase of his recovery process, with the medical staff monitoring his status closely over the coming fortnight.
