News about Jalen Duren

Embiid and company were up 67-59 with over nine minutes left in the third. The play began with Cameron Payne passing the ball to Embiid near half-court before the center calculatedly dribbled toward the three-point line. As he approached the arch, Embiid changed gears before bumping into Detroit's Jalen Duren and falling off balance. Rather than holding onto the ball or passing it, he blindly threw it over his head and towards the hoop. Surprisingly, the ball found the bottom of the net as the former MVP's back hit the hardwood.

Wemby had 27 points and 12 rebounds in the Spurs' 85-80 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers last week after his mere-point performance against the Charlotte Hornets last week. He shot 9 of 14, making half of his 3s (3 of 4) and the majority of his free throw attempts (7 of 12). The Frenchman also had 12 rebounds.

After addressing his passport problem, Pistons rookie Jalen Duren joined his teammates in Paris on the eve of their NBA Europe game against the Bulls. Duren was a notable absence in a portrait taken of Detroit's squad in front of the Eiffel Tower earlier this week, but The Athletic's James L. Edwards III reported that he was in fact stuck in the United States after losing his passport. Detroit chiefs were reported to be struggling to get him into France ahead of Thursday's showdown with the Bulls, which takes place in Accor Arena, and those efforts have finally paid off one day ahead of the game. On Wednesday, the 19-year-old was seen greeting his fellow Pistons stars during their training session at Salle Marcel Cerdan, having put his passport nightmare behind him and made it into the region.

Of all the things you should forget before boarding a foreign flight, forgetting a passport can be the most difficult of all, according to Pistons rookie Jalen Duren. The 19-year-old center was reported to have lost his passport ahead of the team's flight to Paris, France, on Monday, as the team prepares to face the Bulls in the NBA's annual European game. Duren was a notable absentee from France's Pistons team because he misplaced his passport, leaving him trapped in the United States, according to Athletic's James L. Edwards III.
