Pistons' Jalen Duren: Expected to practice this week

The Pistons announced Tuesday that Duren (ankle) is expected to practice this week, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

Analysis:

Duren has missed five straight contests due to right ankle soreness, but he's nearing a return to game action. The second-year center has recently been participating in 3-on-3 drills and should be a full participant in practice soon. The Pistons have just one more game this week, Friday in Indiana, but Duren's status for that game has yet to be determined.
