  "summary": "Jalen Duren has finally resolved his contract standoff with the Detroit Pistons, agreeing to a five-year, $200 million deal. The center, who averaged 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in the 2025-26 season, was named an All-Star for the first time in his career and an All-NBA third team. Despite being eligible for a max deal worth up to $287 million, Duren's playoff performance led teams to be reluctant to pay that much. The Pistons, who maintained they wouldn't trade Duren, ultimately settled for the $200 million contract, ensuring his future with the team.",
