The Detroit Pistons announced Saturday that three key rotation players, Tobias Harris, Jalen Duren, and Caris LeVert, will not travel with the team to Cleveland as they continue injury rehabilitation.
According to the team release, forward Tobias Harris is dealing with a left-hip sprain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Harris has played 23 games this season, averaging 13.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists on 45.5% shooting.

Center Jalen Duren, one of Detroit’s breakout performers this season, is out with a right-ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in one week. The 22-year-old big man has averaged 17.9 points and 10.6 rebounds through 31 games, anchoring the Pistons’ interior on both ends of the floor.
The team also announced that guard Caris LeVert remains sidelined with right-knee inflammation. He will continue his treatment program in Detroit, and his status is listed as day-to-day. LeVert has averaged 8.4 points and 2.8 assists in 26 appearances this season.
Despite the injury setbacks, Detroit continues to hold firm at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, entering the weekend at 25–9 (.735), the best record in the conference and one of the strongest point-differential marks in the NBA. The Pistons will now look to maintain that position while navigating the upcoming stretch short-handed.
Detroit’s medical staff will provide further updates following the next evaluation checkpoints.
