Pistons Get Concerning Jalen Duren Update Before Media Day
- On Monday, Detroit Pistons restricted free agent Jalen Duren is expected to miss the team's Media Day as his contract standoff with Detroit continues into training camp.
- Tensions stem from a reported five-year, $200 million offer that falls short of the $287 million maximum Duren is eligible for, alongside reported frustration over a "weight clause" requiring monthly weigh-ins.
- Earning his first All-Star selection last season, Duren helped Detroit win 60 games and recorded 41 double-doubles, establishing himself as a core pillar alongside Cade Cunningham.
- Sam Amick and Hunter Patterson noted that skipping Monday's event "would be a strong indication that he'll likely miss the beginning of training camp as well," which begins Tuesday.
- Facing an Oct 1 deadline, Duren must decide whether to accept a one-year, $9.6 million qualifying offer, which would allow him to become an unrestricted free agent next summer.
