Duren (knee) is doubtful to play Monday in Oklahoma City.
Duren is scheduled for a rest day on the first leg of a back-to-back set, and managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to tipoff. With both Duren and Isaiah Stewart (calf) unavailable for Monday's game, Paul Reed should see heavy minutes in a starting role.

Duren (knee) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Questionable to play Saturday
Rotowire
Duren (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game in Minnesota.
Duren is coming off a massive showing in Thursday's 129-108 win over New Orleans. However, he's now in danger of missing his first game in over a month due to injury management. With Isaiah Stewart (calf) sidelined, Paul Reed would be the favorite to enter the starting lineup if Duren is ruled out.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Flirts with triple-double
Rotowire
Duren closed Thursday's 129-108 victory over the Pelicans with 30 points (10-12 FG, 10-12 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals across 31 minutes.
Duren was clearly the star of the show Thursday evening, as he led the Pistons in scoring and rebounding and tied Ausar Thompson for the team lead in swats. He also impressed as a playmaker by dishing out a season-high seven dimes. Duren has stepped up in a big way while Detroit has been without Cade Cunningham (chest) and has put up 20-plus points in five consecutive showings, securing four double-doubles during this span.

Rotowire
Duren logged 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 15 minutes during the Pistons' 131-109 win over the 76ers on Thursday.
Duren saw limited playing time due to foul trouble, but he was productive in the third quarter with nine points and six rebounds. Four of the five Pistons starters did not play in the fourth quarter, and despite playing just 15 minutes, Duren was able to record his 32nd double-double of the season, which is tied with Victor Wembanyama (ankle) for fifth most in the Association. Duren has averaged 21.9 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals over 27.2 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Elite efficiency in win
Rotowire
Duren ended with 26 points (9-10 FG, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 138-100 victory over Brooklyn.
Cade Cunningham stole the show with his 21-point, 15-assist double-double in 26 minutes, but Duren also deserves praise after scoring 26 points (while missing just one shot from the field) in 23 minutes. The star big man has been asked to handle a bigger role on offense at times, and he hasn't disappointed. Duren has reached the 20-point mark in seven of his 10 appearances since the All-Star break, as well as hitting the 25-point plateau five times.

The 22-year-old also impressed on the glass and has secured a double-double in four of six February appearances. Duren will face another tough test against the Thunder on Wednesday.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Ejected vs. Charlotte
Rotowire
Duren was ejected during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Hornets following an altercation, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports. He'll end the night with 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes.
It's unclear at this time whether Duren will face further discipline for his role in the scuffle that broke out during the third period between players from both sides. This outcome certainly puts a damper on his return, as he was through two and a half quarters of strong play after sitting out of Friday's game against the Knicks with a knee injury.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Shut down early
Rotowire
Duren won't return to Thursday's game against the Wizards due to right knee soreness, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports. He'll finish the night with four points (2-6 FG) and three rebounds in 13 minutes.
Duren wasn't on the court to begin the second half, and the team announced shortly after that he'd suffered a knee injury. Ronald Holland started the third quarter in Duren's place and should see plenty of chances down the stretch. Duren can be considered day-to-day until further notice.
