Jalen Duren Tried To Play Through The Pain Of A Sprained Ankle

Pistons center Jalen Duren , who will miss at least a week with a sprained right ankle, tried to play through the pain in Thursday’s loss to Miami, per Hunter Patterson of the Athletic . He checked back into the game late in the third quarter, but wasn’t able to keep going. “(Duren) wanted to give it a go and see how he felt,” coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. “But (he) just didn’t feel that he could do the things that he needed to do.”
