Talks between Detroit and 22‑year‑old center Jalen Duren have stalled. The Pistons did not give him a recent contract. Duren now faces one uncertain future. He could ask for a sign‑and‑trade. Both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets have reached out. His coach put him in that playoff rotation against Orlando, but that trust did not turn into an extension. No deal was signed.
A move might still happen before the season begins. If one trade is worked out, Duren could wear a new jersey this summer. Until then his next step remains open.
