Jalen Duren Out With Ankle Sprain Friday
5 months agoDetroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is listed as out for Friday versus the Orlando Magic due to a left ankle sprain. Head coach Monty Williams said after Wednesday's 116-102 defeat to the Memphis Grizzlies that he didn't know the severity of Duren's sprain, but the 20-year-old interior force will miss at least one game on Friday. Duren turned his left ankle on the way down from a rebound late in the contest, immediately falling to the floor and needing help to the locker room. Ankle issues have plagued Duren, who will have soon missed eight games already this year. He looks to return on Monday against the Indiana Pacers. Isaiah Stewart is an option to take over at the five and open up minutes on the wing for the likes of Isaiah Livers and Ausar Thompson. Marvin Bagley III, who averages 12.6 points and 5.3 rebounds in 23.9 minutes over seven games without Duren this season, could also resurface in the 2-19 Pistons' rotation.
