Pistons Say Jalen Duren Should Practice This Week
6 months agoThe Detroit Pistons announced on Tuesday that center Jalen Duren (ankle) is expected to practice this week. Duren's lingering right ankle soreness has held him out of action for five consecutive games, but he appears to be on the cusp of a return. Detroit's next game is on tap for Friday against the Indiana Pacers, so a couple of practice sessions ahead of time should be able to get Duren on track to be active for that one. It's been a stop-start year for the 20-year-old interior force, who appeared primed to win fantasy leagues with some dominant showings to ring in the new year. Duren still ranks inside the top 75 in 9-category setups overall, averaging 12.6 points, 10.6 boards, 3.1 assists, and 1.1 swats in 28.9 minutes across eight starting appearances as the Pistons' franchise big man. Marvin Bagley III's streaming appeal just about looks ready to wrap up for the time being.
