Duren (ankle) started the fourth quarter of Friday's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers, Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News reports.

Duren appeared to roll his left ankle in the third quarter and limped to the locker room. However, the big man returned to the bench shortly thereafter and was ultimately cleared to check back in.

Duren exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Friday's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Cleveland due to an apparent left ankle injury, Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com reports.

Duren went down and grabbed at his left ankle before limping back to the locker room. He can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light. If he's unable to return, Paul Reed will likely pick up the slack.

Shannon (head) is available for Friday's Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals versus San Antonio.

Shannon appeared on the injury report because of a head contusion. However, the injury won't keep him off the floor for Friday's must-win clash against the Spurs. The 25-year-old has averaged 8.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 25.0 minutes during this series. Shannon's presence will likely result in less opportunity for Mike Conley and Bones Hyland.

Nance (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Pistons.

Nance was a last-minute addition to the injury report due to an illness and was ruled out shortly thereafter. His absence shouldn't affect the rotation.

Robinson won't start Friday's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.

The sharpshooter will return to action following a one-game absence due to lower-back soreness, though Daniss Jenkins will remain in the starting five. Robinson has averaged 13.8 points, 3.8 three-pointers, 2.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.8 rebounds across 32.5 minutes per contest through four second-round appearances.

Huerter (adductor) is available for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers on Friday.

Huerter's presence Friday helps put the Pistons at full strength for a win-or-go-home contest. The 27-year-old, who missed time earlier this series with a left adductor strain, logged just three minutes in Detroit's Game 5 loss because he aggravated the injury, per Jamal Collier of ESPN.com. Collier also noted that Huerter received an injection to gain clearance for Game 6, so the sharpshooter's workload could depend on his pain tolerance.

Robinson (back) is available for Friday's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Cavaliers.

Robinson sat out Wednesday's Game 5 loss but will shed his questionable tag due to lower-back soreness and suit up in Friday's win-or-go-home matchup. Over four second-round appearances, the sharpshooter has averaged 13.8 points, 3.8 triples, 2.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.8 rebounds in 32.5 minutes per contest.

LeVert (heel) is available for Friday's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Cleveland.

With LeVert available to play Friday, the Pistons are at full strength for a must-win contest. The veteran wing has averaged 5.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.5 minutes per contest over 11 games in the 2026 playoffs, during which he has shot 43.4 percent from the field.

Shannon (head) is questionable for Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Spurs on Friday.

Shannon is a late addition to the injury report with a head contusion. Mike Conley would appear to be the primary beneficiary from a fantasy perspective if Shannon, who's logged at least 20 minutes in five of Minnesota's last six contests, is unable to play Friday.
