Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren will miss at least two weeks with a strained hamstring, the team announced Sunday.

Duren sustained the injury Friday against the Miami Heat, playing just over 10 minutes in the 128-111 win before checking out in the second quarter.

The 22-year-old signed a five-year, $200-million extension with the Pistons earlier in October following protracted offseason negotiations.

Duren finished with four points, six rebounds, three assists, one block, and a steal in the win over Miami. The All-NBA center played 28 minutes in Detroit's season-opening win over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, matching Cade Cunningham with a team-high 22 points and grabbing nine rebounds as the Pistons reversed a 22-point deficit in the second half.
