The right ankle issues forced Duren to miss a Nov. 1 matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers and a Nov. 6 contest against the Golden State Warriors.

When available, the 19-year-old Duren has been sensational. He entered Friday averaging 13.9 points on 63.8 percent shooting, 11.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists over seven games.

Duren played 23 minutes before exiting with 5:42 remaining in the third quarter. Marvin Bagley III replaced Duren in the lineup.

Bagley started for Duren during both of his previous absences and figures to get the call once again if he's held out for any period of time.

The 24-year-old entered Friday averaging 10.6 points and 4.8 rebounds in 18.9 minutes per game. Look for big man James Wiseman to get some minutes off the bench as well.

Detroit's next game will be Sunday evening at the Chicago Bulls.
