WATCH: Pistons' Jalen Duren appears to take step in injury recovery
Although no timetable has been set for his return, Pistons All-Star Jalen Duren showed signs in his recovery from a hamstring injury.
DETROIT — The Detroit Pistons have managed to compete without their All-NBA center, Jalen Duren, who suffered a hamstring strain during a game against the Miami Heat on October 23rd. Duren injured himself midway through the second quarter while attempting a spin move on Heat forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. He immediately grabbed his leg and rushed to the locker room.
Despite the absence of key players like Paul Reed and Tolu Smith, the Pistons have maintained a 3-2 record without Duren thus far this season. A decision on his return is expected ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. After practice on November 5th, Duren took part in a workout, displaying progress in his recovery.
He engaged in a dribbling drill, dribbling with his right hand while catching a tennis ball with his left, and subsequently took some shots alongside the Pistons' player development staff. Duren, sidelined by a hamstring injury for the past six games, is making strides in his recovery.
