The Detroit Pistons have made it clear throughout the playoffs that they have unwavering faith in Jalen Duren, despite his less-than-stellar postseason performances. The young center has struggled to find his rhythm, but the team's confidence in his ability to bounce back remains rock solid.

Leading the charge in Duren's corner is veteran teammate Reed, who has been his biggest cheerleader. "I don't think anybody in here is as happy for JD as I am," Reed shared with The Athletic in the visiting locker room in Cleveland. "I was talking to him all night, telling him, 'That's the energy we need. Go harder. Make sure there's nothing left in the tank.'"

This isn't just talk—it reflects a deeper belief within the Pistons' organization that Duren has the grit and potential to turn things around. For a team looking to build momentum, having a player like Reed mentoring Duren could be the spark they need. Whether it's on the court or in the locker room, the message is simple: leave it all out there.
