Duren won't start Sunday's game against the Wizards, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Duren isn't listed on the injury report, so he'll presumably be available off the bench. He's started in all 12 appearances this season and 60 of his 61 regular-season outings last season, so it's an unfamiliar role for the talented big man, who's averaging 8.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 25.1 minutes per game.
