Duren Ejected in Pistons’ Loss to Rockets
HOUSTON – The Detroit Pistons suffered a blow early in their road game against the Houston Rockets on Friday, Oct. 24, as center Jalen Duren was ejected in the second quarter. With 6:29 remaining in the quarter, Duren was called for a foul after striking Rockets guard Amen Thompson with an elbow to the face. Thompson, whose twin brother Ausar Thompson plays for the Pistons, fell to the ground.
The play was initially ruled an offensive foul but was subsequently upgraded to a Flagrant 2 after a video review, resulting in Duren’s immediate ejection.
Duren finished the game with six points and six rebounds in just 12 minutes. His absence left the Pistons significantly undersized against the Rockets’ imposing frontcourt of Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams.
The Pistons struggled with foul trouble throughout the first half, racking up 18 personal fouls. Duncan Robinson, Cade Cunningham and Ron Holland each accumulated three fouls, while Isaiah Stewart had four.
