Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren to miss at least 2 more weeks with hamstring injury

Center Jalen Duren will miss at least two more weeks with a hamstring injury, the Detroit Pistons said Sunday.

The 22-year-old All-Star center was injured in Detroit's second game of the season, a 128-111 win over the Miami Heat on Oct. 23. He has missed six games and is expected to miss at least six more. 

The team did say Duren has been cleared for full basketball participation.

The center averaged 13.5 points over his first four NBA seasons, all with Detroit.
