The Detroit Pistons were hopeful that starting center Jalen Duren would be available for Thursday’s game against the Chicago Bulls being played in France after the rookie sat the previous five games with an ankle injury. One big problem — Duren isn’t in France with the Pistons. It seems that the 19-year-old rookie lost his passport and couldn’t travel with the team.
That news comes from The Athletic’s James L. Edwards III, who reports that the Pistons are currently working on the issue and hoping to get him to France in time to play in Thursday’s game.
