Neither Jaden Ivey nor Jalen Duren signed rookie scale contract extensions ahead of Monday's 6 p.m. deadline, a person with knowledge of the Detroit Pistons' front office moves told the Free Press. The person was granted anonymity because the team has not commented publicly. The lack of a deal sets up Ivey and Duren, the Pistons' 2022 NBA draft lottery picks, to enter restricted free agency in 2026. The Pistons will be able to match any offer from opposing teams to retain either player.
