Duren will be re-evaluated in two weeks due to a right hamstring strain, Eric Vincent of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Duren suffered the hamstring injury in Friday's win over Miami and is set to miss an extended period. Paul Reed is expected to join the starting five and carries significant fantasy value until Duren returns. John Collins and Tolu Smith are also candidates to see a bump in minutes in Duren's stead.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Doesn't return Friday
Duren (thigh) exited Friday's 128-111 win over the Heat in the second quarter and did not return, finishing with four points (2-4 FG), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 10 minutes.
Duren was deemed questionable to return with a right thigh injury after exiting to the locker room, and he never checked back in. If the big man is forced to miss additional time, Paul Reed would likely step into the starting five. Duren's next chance to play will come Sunday at Philadelphia.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Nearly double-doubles in win
Duren provided 22 points (8-13 FG, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 121-113 victory over the Celtics.
Duren narrowly missed a double-double while matching Cade Cunningham for Detroit's scoring lead. The former also converted a pivotal three-point play during the Pistons' fourth-quarter comeback and committed just one turnover. His efficient finishing and strong free-throw shooting were notable, particularly after he connected on six of seven attempts from the charity stripe. Duren remains a reliable source of points, rebounds and field-goal percentage in fantasy formats.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Tallies 14 points vs. Toronto
Duren finished Friday's 129-125 preseason win over the Raptors with 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block over 20 minutes.
Most of Duren's work came in the first half, with the fifth-year big man playing sparingly in the third quarter before sitting out for the entire fourth. Duren will be one of the players to watch during the 2026-27 season, given the long contract extension standoff between his camp and the Pistons before the two sides agreed on a five-year, $200 million extension Oct. 1. The Memphis product is coming off a career year in 2025-26 during the regular season but didn't match that production during the playoffs, when he averaged just 10.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 blocks over 30.1 minutes across 14 postseason contests.

Duren finished with 24 points (8-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block across 15 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason victory over Minnesota.
Duren appeared in his first preseason game, and while he wasn't on the floor long, he still ended with the game high in points. The 2022 No. 13 overall pick, who just agreed to a five-year extension with Detroit, finished the 2025-26 campaign by averaging a career-high 19.5 points along with 10.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 28.2 minutes per contest. Duren also appeared in at least 70 games for the second consecutive season.
