CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren left Wednesday night's 108-107 loss to the Charlotte Hornets with a left ankle injury and did not return.

Duren appeared to slip on the floor in the early moments of the game and went down.

He seemed fine at the time and jogged off the court. Duren remained in the game for a few more minutes before leaving for good later in the first quarter after playing eight minutes and contributing three rebounds and one assist.
