Detroit Pistons center Duren will miss at least two weeks after suffering a right hamstring strain in the first half of Friday's victory over the Miami Heat. He played only 10 minutes before exiting the contest.
The injury comes shortly after Duren signed a five-year, $200 million extension earlier this month. The deal followed a contract standoff that caused him to miss media day and the first several training camp practices.
Duren is coming off a career year, when he averaged a personal-best 19.5 points per game, earned his first All-Star selection and was named to the All-NBA third team. He helped the Pistons secure the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, though the team was eliminated in the second round of the playoffs, where he averaged 10.2 points across 14 games.
In this season's opener, Duren posted 22 points and nine rebounds in a win over the Boston Celtics.
