Overview
- Detroit announced Saturday that Duren will not travel to face the Cavaliers and will be re-evaluated in one week.
- Duren rolled his right ankle on a non-contact drive late in the first half against the Heat, briefly returned after halftime, then was ruled out after 18 minutes with 12 points and five rebounds.
- Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said detailed medical information would come in the following days after Duren attempted to play through the injury.
- This is Duren’s second right-ankle sprain of the season after a November setback that cost him two games.
- The Pistons, now 25-9 after three losses in four games, are already short-handed with Tobias Harris set for a two-week re-evaluation for a left hip sprain and Caris LeVert out with left knee inflammation.
