Jalen Duren Upset At Pistons For Paying Ausar Thompson

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren is reportedly frustrated with the franchise after teammate Ausar Thompson received a five-year, $155 million contract extension. Duren, who is still awaiting a new contract extension of his own, reportedly feels disrespected by the deal given his recent individual accolades.

While Duren earned All-Star and All-NBA honors last season to help Detroit secure the top seed in the Eastern Conference, his postseason struggles against Orlando and Cleveland reportedly damaged the team's faith in him. Meanwhile, Ausar's twin brother, Amen Thompson, also secured a five-year, $208 million extension with the Houston Rockets.
