Detroit Free Press • • sports
Key Points:
- Detroit Pistons star center Jalen Duren will miss Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a right hamstring strain sustained during Friday's win over the Miami Heat.
- Paul Reed is expected to start in Duren's place, with Tolu Smith as his backup and John Collins able to play small-ball center if needed.
- Two-way center Ugonna Onyenso is also unavailable as he continues training with the G League's Motor City Cruise.
- The 76ers, who have a 2-0 record, will play the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday with Joel Embiid expected to rest Sunday, while the Bucks will be without LeBron James for their matchup.
- Pistons guard Ausar Thompson is questionable for Sunday's game due to a right ankle sprain but avoided a serious injury in Friday's contest.
