Pistons Bracing for 3 Jalen Duren Scenarios Before Midnight

The Detroit Pistons have spent months waiting for clarity on Jalen Duren. They may finally get it before Thursday night is over.

Duren faces an 11:59 p.m. ET deadline that could dramatically reshape both his future and Detroit's roster planning. The latest reporting on the negotiations indicates the Pistons are preparing for three possible outcomes: a massive long-term contract, a one-year gamble by Duren or another stretch of uncertainty.
