The Detroit Pistons ruled out center Jalen Duren for Saturday’s preseason game against the Washington Wizards, according to CBS Sports. Duren is working to regain game shape after missing the start of training camp while he negotiated a new contract with the team.
Duren is not dealing with an injury. He missed training camp while negotiating his contract and is being eased back into condition before the regular season.
What The Team And Duren Have Said
He is expected to suit up Wednesday in Minnesota, according to CBS Sports.
Season Context And The New Contract
Duren signed a five-year, $200 million fully guaranteed contract with the Pistons shortly after training camp began, ending a restricted free agency dispute.
The holdout cost him training camp reps, and the Pistons are taking a cautious approach to his return.
What’s Next
Duren’s next chance comes Wednesday in Minnesota.
