Milwaukee Bucks Daily: Brandon Jennings to sign deal for rest of year
The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here with the news that Brandon Jennings is to finish out the rest of the year with the Bucks by signing a new deal after the end of his second 10-day contract.
In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we learn Brandon Jennings will finish out the rest of the season with the Bucks, Ray Allen becomes an official inductee for this year’s Naismith Hall of Fame class, and much more.
While he certainly busted out of the gates in his first outing on the NBA level in nearly 10 months, Jennings has expectedly fallen back down to Earth in recent weeks. But with both Malcolm Brogdon and Matthew Dellavedova still on the mend with their respective injuries, the Bucks have opted to stick with the 28-year-old Jennings for the rest of the season, hoping he could still stand as a stopgap solution by covering as their backup point guard for the time being.
