Pistons’ Jalen Duren ruled out for rest of Heat game with ankle injury

The Detroit Pistons have launched themselves into the championship contender category after occupying first place in the Eastern Conference for almost two months straight, and a healthy star duo is a major reason why. A potential problem on that front may have just occurred during the team’s New Year’s showdown with the Miami Heat. Fourth-year center Jalen Duren headed to the locker room after rolling his ankle on a drive to the basket, via the Artoftheleague X account.

He was ruled out for the rest of the contest, per ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Siegel. Detroit is currently trailing Miami by double digits and is trending toward its third loss in four games. Duren poses an excellent frontcourt compliment to All-Star guard Cade Cunningham, so fans are hoping his ankle sprain does not linger for a long time.
