DETROIT — Jalen Duren will miss at least two more weeks because of a hamstring injury, the Detroit Pistons announced Sunday. The team said Duren has been cleared for full basketball participation.
The 22-year-old All-Star center was injured in Detroit’s second game of the season, a 128-111 win over the Miami Heat on Oct. 23. He has missed six games and is expected to miss at least six more.
Duren signed a five-year, $200 million contract extension before the season. He averaged 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds last season, but dropped to 10.2 points and 8.5 rebounds in 14 playoff games.
