Jalen Duren holdout escalates Detroit contract situation

Detroit removed a disputed weight clause from its five-year, approximately $200 million offer, but Duren reportedly remains opposed and absent from team activities. His choices are the extension, the approximately $9.6 million qualifying offer, or a later extension; possible trade destinations and the retracted Anthony Davis framework remain unconfirmed.
