Sat Nov 18 2023 | 20:14 | Jalen Duren Still Out With An Ankle Injury Sunday |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) remains sidelined for Sunday's matchup with the Raptors. The 19-year-old will now miss a fourth consecutive contest, with his next chance to return taking place on Monday against the Denver Nuggets. But in the meantime, Isaiah Stewart should slide over to the middle, with Marvin Bagley III getting work from the bench. However, Bagley had been starting during Duren's absence, so he's not worth adding to any fantasy roster unless he returns to that role. |

Thu Nov 16 2023 | 23:06 | Jalen Duren Won't Be Back On Friday Night |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) won't play on Friday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 19-year-old is set to miss his third consecutive contest because of an ankle issue, which is unfortunate considering how well he had played before going on the shelf. In any event, Marvin Bagley III (illness) is questionable, meaning James Wiseman could finally get enough minutes to be a viable fantasy option in all formats. |

Mon Nov 13 2023 | 22:50 | Jalen Duren To Remain Out On Tuesday |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Hawks. He's been bothered by an ankle injury, forcing him to miss time sporadically since the start of November. Still, the 19-year-old has had a productive season, averaging a double-double and 1.1 blocks per game, so the team will play it safe until he's 100%. That said, Duren's next chance to return will be on Friday night versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. But in the meantime, Marvin Bagley III, averaging 11.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks in three starts this season, should continue to fill the void in the lineup. There could also be room for James Wiseman to stay involved, although he hasn't done enough this season to work his way into any fantasy lineup. |

Sat Nov 11 2023 | 19:00 | Jalen Duren Out On Sunday |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus the Bulls. The 19-year-old continues to battle right ankle soreness, an injury that's already forced him to miss two games this season. As a result, Marvin Bagley III, averaging 10 points, four rebounds, and one block in two starts this season, has a place for fantasy managers looking to fill a void in the roster caused by Duren's absence. 2020 No. 1 overall pick James Wiseman might also see more work, although not enough to justify adding him off waivers. |

Wed Nov 8 2023 | 16:07 | Jalen Duren Up In The Air Wednesday |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Detroit's injury report already includes six players on the shelf, so they'll hope Duren's one-game absence with bilateral ankle soreness doesn't linger into Wednesday's Central Division tilt. The 19-year-old glass-cleaner features top-40 value in 9-category leagues during the early goings of the campaign, averaging 14.3 points on 66.1% shooting, 11.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.3 blocks over six games of action in the Motor City. Marvin Bagley III replaced Duren at the five in head coach Monty Williams' starting group after he was a late scratch on Monday versus the Golden State Warriors, but Bagley would likely ride the pine if Duren rejoins the fold in Milwaukee. |

Mon Nov 6 2023 | 19:14 | Jalen Duren Out Monday Against Warriors |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Warriors, and he was a late addition to the injury report. The 19-year-old previously missed a game last week due to the same ankle injury, suggesting this move may be precautionary. Duren now joins the long list of Pistons players unavailable on Monday, leaving the team with only 10 active players. In his absence, Marvin Bagley will be in the starting lineup, and James Wiseman is likely to see an increased role against his former team. Duren has had a strong start to his sophomore campaign, averaging 14.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in just under 30 minutes per game. |

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The big man has been cleared to play after sitting out on Wednesday due to a sprained left ankle. The expectation is that he'll have his normal workload during this game. Marvin Bagley III should take a hit in value with Duren back on the court. Fantasy managers who have Duren rostered should make sure to get him back in their lineups for this game. |

Wed Nov 1 2023 | 18:24 | Jalen Duren Out For First Time This Year |
Detroit Pistons forward/center Jalen Duren (ankle) has been downgraded to out and will miss his first game of the season on Wednesday versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Duren has a left ankle sprain, although it's unclear when he picked up the injury. The 19-year-old 2022 first-rounder didn't participate in Wednesday morning's shootaround, which ultimately served as the writing on the wall for his absence in this one. Duren is off to a dominant start as Detroit's featured big man, averaging 15.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in four contests. Note that Wednesday's matchup is the first end of a back-to-back for the Pistons, so they could be playing things cautiously with their franchise center. Isaiah Stewart could shift to the five against Portland, with Marvin Bagley III embracing an expanded role in Duren's stead. James Wiseman could enter head coach Monty Williams' rotation, too. |

Wed Nov 1 2023 | 00:06 | Jalen Duren Gets A Questionable Tag Against Portland |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 19-year-old had played at an All-Star level in his first four games of the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 15.5 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks. However, with Detroit playing consecutive contests on Wednesday and Thursday, head coach Monty Williams won't take any risks, meaning there's a realistic chance Duren won't play. If that's the case, Marvin Bagley III will likely slide into the starting lineup and automatically become a high-upside fantasy option in all formats. James Wiseman, who hasn't seen any action this year, could finally get on the court, although he's not someone to consider for any fantasy format. |

Wed Sep 20 2023 | 08:36 | Jalen Duren Reportedly The Favorite To Start At Center For Pistons |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren is the favorite to start at the center position this season, according to Keith Langlois of NBA.com. The 19-year-old was the NBA's youngest player last season and already earned some starts then, but it looks like he's now set to fill the role full-time. Duren made 67 appearances with 31 starts, averaging 9.1 points and 8.9 rebounds for his rookie campaign. His numbers received a slight bump in the starting unit at 10.5 points and 10.6 rebounds. With James Wiseman, Marvin Bagley III, and Isaiah Stewart also in the mix, Detroit's center situation has looked complicated, but we have gotten some clarity now, and Duren should have a good sophomore season if he hangs on to the starter's position. |

Sun Jul 9 2023 | 21:50 | Jalen Duren Scores 23 Points In Loss |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren looked pretty dominant despite the loss to the Houston Rockets on Sunday. The 19-year-old registered 23 points on 10-for-14 shooting and added 10 rebounds, one assist, and one block while outplaying his counterpart, James Wiseman. Duren seems to be the more likely one to get more minutes this season alongside Isaiah Stewart in the frontcourt. The minute distribution will be one storyline to watch with Monty Williams at the helm this year. |

Mon Apr 10 2023 | 09:24 | Jalen Duren Gobbles Up 18 Rebounds Sunday |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren might have reminded some of the fans of the days when Dennis Rodman was still around Sunday, bagging a game-high 18 rebounds in a 103-81 loss to the Bulls. Duren added one block to his tally, but it was truly a mixed performance from him, as the 19-year-old managed to put up only four points and committed six turnovers. For the season overall, Duren recorded 9.1 points and 8.9 rebounds in 24.9 minutes. He's got plenty of upside, but there's also quite a bit of uncertainty regarding Duren, with the team's frontcourt looking pretty crowded and a new head coach coming in. |

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (neck) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The big man missed Tuesday's game due to a neck issue, but appears to be feeling better now. The 19-year-old has produced three double-doubles over his last five healthy appearances. Duren appears to be a solid streaming option whenever he's healthy. The expectation is that he'll have a full workload for Friday's game. |

Mon Mar 20 2023 | 23:14 | Jalen Duren Won't Suit Up On Tuesday |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (neck) won't play on Tuesday against Atlanta. The rookie has whiplash, an injury he occurred during Sunday's meeting with Miami. Considering the Pistons' season is unofficially finished, fantasy managers may not see Duren back on the court for the remainder of the year. Nevertheless, James Wiseman will continue to receive plenty of work at the five spot. The former Warrior has averaged 14.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 12 starts this season, so he has appeal in every fantasy format. |

Sun Mar 19 2023 | 22:19 | Jalen Duren Exits In Third Quarter Against Miami |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (head) collided with Kevin Love on Sunday and suffered a head injury that kept him from returning to the game. He was being evaluated for a concussion and other head injuries at the time, but the test results have yet to come back. Head coach Dwane Casey said that Duren felt "woozy" which isn't the best sign. If he needs to miss time, Marvin Bagley III and James Wiseman should see an uptick in minutes. |

Fri Mar 17 2023 | 10:08 | Jalen Duren Posts Double-Double Off Of The Bench |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren continues to impress when he gets enough minutes as he collected his 15th double-double of the season on Thursday in a loss to the Denver Nuggets. The rookie ended the game with 15 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, and three steals while hitting seven of his 10 shots, but only going 1-for-4 from the line. His defensive IQ and athleticism are already at a high level right now, but the rest of his game is still developing. With a front-court that has James Wiseman and Duren, the Pistons just need a wing to go along with them. |

Thu Mar 9 2023 | 18:57 | Jalen Duren Returning On Thursday |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) will make his return to the court on Thursday. This is great news for the Pistons with fellow big man Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) expected to miss multiple weeks. Duren has missed the last six games, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him on a minutes limit here. The expectation is that Duren is going to start, which should shift James Wiseman back to the bench. There should be more minutes available for Duren, Wiseman, and Marvin Bagley III with Stewart sidelined right now. |

Wed Mar 8 2023 | 22:53 | Jalen Duren Expected To Return On Thursday |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Thursday's battle with the Charlotte Hornets. The 19-year-old missed the last six games because of bilateral ankle soreness, opening the door for James Wiseman to enter the starting rotation. Although Wiseman's fantasy ceiling will drop once Duren is officially cleared, the rookie may not see a full workload. As a result, the former Warrior has some value left for Thursday night. However, Wiseman shouldn't be in any fantasy lineup, if possible. The same could be said for Duren. |

Tue Mar 7 2023 | 17:26 | Jalen Duren Will Remain Out On Tuesday Against Wizards |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) will sit out a sixth consecutive game as he deals with ankle soreness. The last time he was able to play was back on February 23, but it looks like the team will be cautious with any pain that their rookie center is experiencing. While he remains out, Marvin Bagley III has played very well and James Wiseman will probably get as much playing time as he can handle. Both of them would serve as decent streaming options whenever needed. |

Sun Mar 5 2023 | 19:44 | Jalen Duren Sitting Out Another Game |
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) remains unavailable for Monday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers, his fifth consecutive absence. The Pistons are in trouble, as Isaiah Stewart (hip) and Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) are also unavailable. To add further insult to injury, James Wiseman (knee) and Killian Hayes are questionable. Wiseman is dealing with a sore left knee, making it possible fantasy managers will continue seeing Marvin Bagley III in the starting lineup. Bagley had 20 points, 13 rebounds, and three blocks in Saturday's loss to Cleveland, so he'll be a popular fantasy option either way. |
