Duren logged 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-8 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 27 minutes during Saturday's 129-116 victory over the Bucks.
Duren was unable to record a double-double for a second consecutive appearance, something that hadn't happened since the first two games of the season. However, he still delivered an efficient line across the board. With this performance Saturday, Duren now has seven straight games scoring at least 19 points, and he's also recorded double-digit rebounds five times over that stretch.

After missing two games due to an ankle injury, Duren returned to play both legs of a back-to-back set and looked like the dominant force he showed prior to his injury.

Rotowire

Duren looked fresh in his return from a two-game absence, dominating the paint and notching his fifth straight double-double of the season. He's pulling down a career-high 12.3 rebounds per game on the year, which ranks fifth in the NBA.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Cleared to play Monday
Rotowire
Duren (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Duren, who had been listed as probable with a right ankle sprain and missed the past two games, will suit up Monday. His return may trim the minutes of Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed, with the latter having started the previous two contests for the Pistons.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Expected to play Monday
Rotowire
Duren (ankle) is probable for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Duren is considered likely to return to the lineup after missing the past two games for Detroit. With the big man expected back in the mix, Isaiah Stewart could lose some steam in the frontcourt and Paul Reed could be pushed to the edge of the rotation once again.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Duren (ankle) will not suit up for Friday's game against the 76ers.
Duren is set to spend his second straight game on the inactive list Friday, which could lead to big minutes for Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed. Duren's next chance to play will come Monday against the Pacers, though he should be considered questionable at best for that one, given it's the first game of a back-to-back set.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Duren (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.
Cade Cunningham (hip) is also questionable, as Detroit's two stars are both in jeopardy of missing their second straight contest. The questionable tag suggests that Duren is day-to-day, and fantasy managers will be eager to get him back in lineups with how well he's fared thus far. There is likely to be another update following the Friday morning shootaround.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Duren (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Duren will miss his first game of the season due to a sprained right ankle he sustained in Monday's overtime win over Washington. With the big man and Isaiah Stewart (ankle) both sidelined, Paul Reed, Isaac Jones and Tolu Smith are candidates for increased minutes. Duren's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the 76ers.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Downgraded to questionable
Rotowire
Duren (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Duren was initially considered probable, but he wasn't at the morning shootaround and has now been downgraded, which isn't a good sign for his availability. This will be Detroit's fourth game in five nights, so a maintenance day could be on the table here.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Not seen at shootaround
Rotowire
Duren (ankle) was not spotted at Wednesday's morning shootaround, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Duren is listed as probable, while Cade Cunningham (hip) is questionable. Neither player was present at the shootaround, but it's possible that both of them were receiving treatment. This is certainly something to monitor as the Pistons are already very shorthanded.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Listed as probable
Rotowire
Duren is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to a right ankle sprain.
Duren has been on a tear of late with four straight double-doubles, averaging 23.0 points, 15.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per game in that stretch. The probable tag suggests the big man should be able to play and handle his regular workload Wednesday, though in the event he's not able to do so, Paul Reed and Isaiah Stewart (ankle) would be next in line to handle minutes at center.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Fills stat sheet with double-double
Rotowire
Duren accumulated 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-7 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 win over Philadelphia.
Cade Cunningham stole the show for the Pistons with his 26-point, 11-assist performance, but Duren made his presence felt as well and clearly won the battle against Andre Drummond. This was Duren's third straight double-double and fifth over his last six games. The big man is averaging 24.0 points, 13.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and a combined 2.4 steals-plus-blocks in five games since the beginning of December.
Duren recorded 30 points (11-14 FG, 8-8 FT), 11 rebounds and three steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 125-107 victory over the Nets.
Duren continues to put together the best stretch of his young career, helping Detroit to its fifth consecutive victory. He has now scored at least 21 points in four of the past five games, two of which he tallied at least 30 points. Through nine appearances, Duren is averaging 19.2 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.1 combined steals and blocks in 26,8 minutes per game.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Massive night on boards
Rotowire
Duren totaled 22 points (10-15 FG, 2-4 FT), 22 rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 114-103 victory over Utah.
Duren enjoyed an efficient evening on the offensive end, drilling 10 field goals for just the second time this season. His 22 rebounds also mark a season high and his third double-double in four games. Duren is averaging 22.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 blocks during this impressive four-game stretch.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Career-best effort against Mavs
Rotowire
Duren ended with 33 points (13-16 FG, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 122-110 win over Dallas in Mexico City.
The 33 points were a career high, as Duren notched his third double-double in the last four games. The fourth-year center could be headed for a breakout offensive season, fueled by a strong early performance at the free-throw line -- Duren is shooting a career-best 84.6 percent from the charity stripe on 6.5 FT attempts a game, more than double his volume from last season.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Secures second double-double
Rotowire
Duren posted 21 points (5-9 FG, 11-12 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 135-116 win over the Magic.
Duren had an efficient night on the offensive end and scored over half of his points from the charity stripe. He also managed to turn in his second double-double in three games with the help of another strong rebounding performance. Duren looks to be back on track following a sluggish first few games of the 2025-26 season.
Pistons' Jalen Duren: Big double-double in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Duren had 24 points (6-12 FG, 12-13 FT), 18 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 28 minutes during Sunday's 119-113 win over the Celtics.
The fourth-year center managed only 12 boards through the Pistons' first two games combined, but Duren flashed his upside on the glass in his first double-double of 2025-26. The 24 points were also an early season high, although his night was cut short Friday when he picked up a Flagrant 2 foul and was ejected after just 12 minutes. Duren has averaged a double-double in each of the last two seasons, but Detroit is counting on the 21-year-old to take a step forward now that he's gained more strength and experience.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Ejected Friday
Rotowire
Duren was ejected from Friday's game after collecting a flagrant 2 foul for elbowing Amen Thompson in the face.
Duren appeared to pull Thompson's arm as he went to move past him and caught him with his elbow while running to the hoop, so it'll be interesting to see if he faces further disciplinary action from the league. He'll end his evening with six points (3-4 FG), six rebounds, one steal, one block and one turnover in 12 minutes, and if he needs to miss more games, Isaiah Stewart will be the primary beneficiary.
