Detroit Pistons' Jalen Duren's Father Reacts to Ausar Thompson's Injury

Thompson suffered an injury during a pre-draft workout.

The Detroit Pistons have had a busy offseason, adding several new players to their roster, including Jalen Duren, Isaiah Livers, and Kevin Knox. However, the team was dealt a blow recently when it was announced that top draft pick Ausar Thompson would be out indefinitely due to a torn ACL.

Thompson was considered one of the top prospects in this year's draft, and his injury is a major setback for the Pistons. The team was hoping that Thompson would be able to contribute right away, but they will now have to wait until next season to see him on the court.

Jalen Duren, who was drafted by the Pistons with the 13th overall pick, is one of the players who will be expected to step up in Thompson's absence. Duren is a 6'11" center who played one season at the University of Memphis. He is known for his athleticism and rebounding ability.

Thompson's father, former NBA player Mychal Thompson, spoke out about his son's injury in a recent interview.

Mychal Thompson said that he was "devastated" when he heard about his son's injury. He said that Ausar had worked so hard to get to this point, and he was proud of everything he had accomplished.

Mychal Thompson also said that he believes Ausar will come back stronger from this injury. He said that Ausar is a tough kid, and he will not let this setback keep him down.

The Pistons are hoping that Ausar Thompson will be able to return to the court next season. He is a talented player with a lot of potential, and he could be a key part of the Pistons' future.

In the meantime, Jalen Duren and the rest of the Pistons will have to step up in Thompson's absence.

The Pistons have a lot of young talent on their roster, and they are hoping to make a playoff push this season. Duren will be a key part of that push, and he will need to play well in order for the Pistons to be successful.

The Pistons are excited about the future, and they believe that Ausar Thompson will be a big part of their success. They are hoping that he will be able to return to the court next season and help them make a playoff run.
