Cade Cunningham must be getting sick of Jalen Duren’s absence

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren reportedly missed out on offseason team events organized by star guard Cade Cunningham amid an extended contract holdout. While Duren and Cunningham worked together closely in previous summers, Duren has reportedly distanced himself from the Pistons this offseason.

Cunningham spent the summer working on player development and fostering team chemistry ahead of the new campaign. Duren's ongoing absence during contract disputes could impact on-court cohesion, specifically concerning the duo's established pick-and-roll partnership.
