Sources: Restricted free agent Duren to meet with Lakers, Kings - ESPN

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren, one of the top restricted free agents this summer, has a pair of meetings with outside teams scheduled for Tuesday, when free agency officially begins.

One of the teams is the Los Angeles Lakers, a source familiar with the situation told ESPN. The Lakers' front office has received feedback from franchise star Luka Doncic about his desire to pair with an «A-list center,» a league source told ESPN, and Duren would fit the bill.

The 6-foot-10, 250-pound big man is coming off his first All-Star appearance and an All-NBA third-team nod, averaging 19.5 points on 65% shooting with 10.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists for a Pistons team that won 60 games and earned the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Duren also plans to meet with the Sacramento Kings, a league source told Andscape's Marc J. Spears.

The Lakers have one center on their roster for next season, after Deandre Ayton exercised the $8.1 million option on his contract.

L.A. has the requisite cap space — $52 million, according to ESPN NBA front office insider Bobby Marks — to make an offer to the 22-year-old Duren; however, if the Lakers sign Duren to an offer sheet during the salary cap moratorium, Detroit would have until 11:59 p.m. ET on July 7 to match. The Lakers would run the risk of missing out on their key free agents if Detroit matches the offer sheet.

The Lakers still have several of their own free agents to consider, including LeBron James, Rui Hachimura, Jaxson Hayes and Luke Kennard. Sources told ESPN last week that Los Angeles reached an agreement on a four-year, $185 million contract extension with Austin Reaves.

The Kings would need to acquire Duren, who has played his entire career in Detroit, through a sign-and-trade
