Detroit Pistons All-Star center Jalen Duren will miss Monday’s media day and the start of training camp amid a contract standoff, ESPN reported. The 22-year-old restricted free agent has until Thursday to accept Detroit’s one-year, $9.6 million qualifying offer for the 2026-27 season, a move that would make him an unrestricted free agent next summer. Duren reportedly rejected the Pistons’ fully guaranteed five-year, $200 million proposal and wants a contract closer to the five-year, $287 million maximum available to him. He reportedly feels disrespected by the impasse and believes the standoff is no longer about money. Duren is coming off a breakout 2025-26 season in which he averaged 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in 70 starts, earning his first All-Star selection and a place on the All-NBA third team.
