What happened: Washington would have interest in a Duren-for-Anthony Davis swap, with Amick confirming ESPN's note of that interest. Detroit has refused to engage interested teams on sign-and-trade talks to this point.

Why it matters: Detroit opens camp without Duren amid the stalemate ahead of Thursday's deadline. Keeping him preserves the frontcourt for the upcoming 2026-27 season instead of rerouting the roster around Davis.

What to watch: Watch whether Detroit engages any suitor before Thursday's deadline passes.
