Team option for 2024-25 exercised

Duren was solid as a rookie, starting 31 of 67 appearances while averaging 9.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks per game. Despite a logjam in the frontcourt, the 2022 No. 13 overall pick is expected to claim a starting role out of the gate in 2023-24. Duren, Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey are considered the core of the Pistons' rebuild.

Part of future

Ivey excelled as a rookie, posting 16.3 points, 5.2 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 31.1 minutes per game. He may handle less usage with Cade Cunningham back in action after a lost 2021-22 campaign, but the Pistons are hoping Cunningham and Ivey will be their starting backcourt for years to come.

Team option picked up

Cunningham is the Pistons' cornerstone player, so this move isn't surprising at all. The 2021 No. 1 overall pick is looking for a bounce-back campaign after missing most of last season due to a left shin injury that required surgery. If Cunningham returns to form, Detroit will presumably try to extend Cunningham on a supermax deal as soon as possible.
