Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren is three days away from his first real checkup on the right hamstring strain. The athlete has not played since the October 23 game against Miami, where he strained the hamstring during the second quarter. Duren has appeared in only two games this season, while the Pistons boast a 6-2 record. Omari Sankofa II, a reporter for the Detroit Free Press, witnessed Duren practicing with trainers on Thursday and shared a photo of the scene.
According to Hunter Patterson from The Athletic, Duren is set to be re-evaluated by the Pistons' medical staff on Sunday, November 8. Although the team would benefit from Duren's presence, the evaluation is not a guarantee of a return to the court. The Pistons acknowledged on October 25 that Duren would be re-evaluated in two weeks, placing the appointment for the following Sunday.
Duren's return would be advantageous for the Pistons, as he averaged 13.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals during his limited appearances this season.
