Jalen Duren Ejected After Brawl, Posts 15 Points in Return

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (right knee) was cleared to play and started Monday's game against the Hornets but was ejected during the third quarter following an altercation. After a hard foul on Moussa Diabate, Duren shoved Diabate, leading to a brawl involving Miles Bridges and Isaiah Stewart, all of whom were ejected. Duren finished with 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 20 minutes. He faces potential further discipline and suspension.
