Jalen Duren is not attending the Pistons' media day or the start of training camp as his contract standoff with the team continues, per ESPN's Shams Charania. The All-Star center has declined the Pistons' offer, though outlets report different figures for the deal on the table. ESPN reported the offer was $200 million fully guaranteed over five years, while one outlet cited $287 million.
Duren and the Pistons have been unable to reach an agreement for three months, with the center feeling disrespected by how negotiations have progressed, per CBS Sports. His holdout represents an escalation in the dispute, as he will miss both team activities rather than simply the opening day of camp.
