The Detroit Pistons and center Jalen Duren remain about $5 million per year apart in negotiations over a new contract, according to Yahoo Sports reporting. Talks are ongoing, but the teams have not yet agreed on the annual value of the deal.
Both outlets frame the situation as a gap rather than a breakup in negotiations. Yahoo Sports notes that the distance between the figures is expected to narrow as key dates approach, including the start of training camp. As the season calendar moves closer, a clearer deadline may influence how both sides adjust their proposals.
Overall, the reporting emphasizes continued discussion and the presence of a specific financial difference, without indicating that an agreement is imminent or that talks have stalled.
