Duran has always had a strong figure, and there has never been any news that his figure is out of shape. Someone in the league described Duran as "as strong as a Greek statue."
In this regard, two reporters from "The Athletic" pointed out that because last season's playoffs were "shown", the Pistons management hopes that Duran can lose weight and use a lighter body to welcome the season. The "weight clause" in the contract is an incentive clause, rather than a clause that "deducts money" or "invalidates the contract" if the target is not met.
