What happened: Duren remains a restricted free agent as talks with Detroit continue.
Why it matters: A new agreement would keep Detroit's All-NBA center in place for the 2026-27 season. The sides have remained apart during negotiations, with training camp expected to add pressure to the timetable.
By the numbers: Duren averaged 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds during the 2025-26 regular season for a 60-win Detroit team. He averaged 10.2 points and 8.5 rebounds in the playoffs.
What to watch: Watch for an agreement as training camp approaches.
