Fans of the Detroit Pistons hope that all is well that ends well for Jalen Duren now that his contract standoff is over.

Duren is coming off a breakout campaign, and he is expected to move past the offseason brouhaha and deliver solid numbers and carry emotional maturity in his fifth year.

The 22-year-old Duren made his preseason debut on Wednesday, helping the Pistons beat the Timberwolves, 128-106, at Target Center. He had a game-high 24 points on 8-of-9 shooting, three rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one block in 15 minutes.

His new partner in the frontcourt, John Collins, was thrilled to play with Duren.

“It’s gonna be fun. He’s coming out, obviously, with a purpose tonight to do his thing. Just excited to get more reps with him and continue to play great basketball,” said Collins.

“Getting down into the paint, getting fouls, getting easy buckets at the rim, always makes our time easier on the court.”
