CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren left Wednesday night's 108-107 loss to the Charlotte Hornets with a left spraine ankle and did not return. The team said it's Duren will be listed as day-to-day. Duren appeared to slip on the floor in the early moments of the game and rolled his ankle. He seemed fine at the time and jogged off the court. Duren remained in the game for a few more minutes before leaving for good later in the first quarter after playing seven minutes. Losing Duren would be a huge blow to the Pistons, who had won two straight games before Brandon Miller's putback at the buzzer lifted the Hornets to the win. The 6-foot-10 Duren is averaging 9.5 points and 10 rebounds per game.
