Jalen Duren will be re-evaluated in two weeks after suffering a right hamstring strain, the Detroit Pistons announced Sunday. The center is out for Sunday’s game at Philadelphia.
The team has set the timing of his next evaluation and has not announced a date for his return to games.
Duren was hurt in the second quarter of Friday’s 128–111 win at Miami. He finished with four points, six rebounds and three assists in 10 minutes.
Paul Reed had 19 points and 11 rebounds off the bench against the Heat. Duren opened the season with 22 points and nine rebounds in Detroit’s win over Boston.
Detroit enters Sunday 2–0, with Duren averaging 13 points and 7.5 rebounds over those first two games. Philadelphia is 3–0, and their game at Xfinity Mobile Arena begins at 5:30 p.m. MDT.
The NBA’s 1 p.m. MDT injury report lists Ausar Thompson as questionable with a right ankle sprain.
