Jalen Duren Lost His Passport, Isn’t in Paris And Might Miss Game
The NBA Global Games are finally back, after a three year long hiatus due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.
The Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons will play a regular-season game this Thursday, January 19, 2023 at the Accor Arena in Paris.
The Detroit Pistons, who are missing their young star Cade Cunningham, were hopeful that starting center Jalen Duren would be available for the game in the French capital, after the rookie was out for the past five games with an ankle injury.
The ankle problem aside, there is one big problem regarding his availability — Duren isn’t in France with the Pistons.
Why? Well, according to various reports, the young big man lost his passport and wasn’t able to travel with the team.
Jalen Duren is not currently with the Pistons because the league’s youngest player lost his passport lol. The team is working and hoping to get him here in time for the game.
