2 Pistons starters set to miss extra time, Knicks matchup due to injuries

Tobias Harris, Jalen Duren, and Caris LeVert will miss key games due to injuries, forcing the Pistons to rely on depth during a six-game homestand, team announced.

  • On Jan. 3, 2026, the Detroit Pistons announced they will be without starters Jalen Duren and Tobias Harris for at least the next few games, and reserve guard Caris LeVert will miss the trip to Cleveland and be day-to-day afterward.
  • Harris's injury stems from a left hip sprain suffered against the Los Angeles Lakers, while Duren's ankle sprain occurred during Thursday's loss to the Miami Heat, and LeVert has managed right knee inflammation since October.
  • Duren's season shows a breakout with 17.9 points and 10.6 rebounds, while Detroit will rely on Isaiah Stewart, Ron Holland, Paul Reed, and two-way player Tolu Smith next week.
  • Duren and Harris face short-term re-evaluations in one and two weeks, leaving Detroit shorthanded as it returns home Monday to begin a six-game homestand against the New York Knicks.
  • Sitting 25-9 overall, the Pistons rely on veterans Tobias Harris and Caris LeVert , despite LeVert missing eight games.
