What happened: Detroit opens media day Monday and training camp without Jalen Duren in attendance. He declined Detroit's five-year, $200M fully guaranteed offer with talks stalled.

Why it matters: Detroit heads into 2026-27 camp without its All-NBA center under contract. The deadline sets Detroit's control over his rights heading into the season.

What to watch: The decision lands before full-squad drills, setting opening-week availability.
