The Detroit Pistons downgraded their starting center on the injury report against the Boston Celtics on Thursday.
While the Pistons were fortunate enough to be able to leave the second-year wing Ausar Thompson off of their report after he missed the last two games, the team recently downgraded its starting center, Jalen Duren.
During that stretch, the Detroit big man has averaged nine points on 62 percent shooting from the field. He’s taking three free throws per game, averaging 58 percent from the charity stripe. On the glass, Duren is coming down with eight rebounds per game. It’s been a long road of recovery for Thompson. Late into his rookie season last year, Thompson was shut down due to blood clots. When the Pistons geared up for training camp to prepare for the 2024-2025 NBA season, Thompson was not cleared to practice.
