MARCH 21: The Bucks have made it official, announcing in a press release that they’ve signed Jennings to a second 10-day contract.
MARCH 20: The Bucks intend to sign Brandon Jennings to a second 10-day contract, reports Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated. Jennings’ initial 10-day deal with Milwaukee is set to expire on Tuesday night, so the club will be able to make his second contract official on Wednesday.
Having spent the first four years of his NBA career with the Bucks, Jennings returned to Milwaukee on a 10-day deal earlier this month. The veteran guard looked great in his first game back, racking up 16 points, 12 assists, and eight rebounds in just 24 minutes. However, he has played a more modest role since then, averaging just 2.7 PPG and 3.3 APG in three subsequent games.
By re-signing Jennings, the Bucks will continue to carry a full 15-man roster. Assuming Jennings’ new deal is finalized on Wednesday, it will run through Friday, March 30. At that point, Milwaukee will have to decide whether to commit to the 28-year-old for the rest of the season, or whether to use that 15th roster spot on another player down the stretch.
As was the case with his first 10-day contract, Jennings’ second 10-day pact will add a cap hit of $83,129 to the Bucks’ books.
Hope they retain him. Little veteran leadership never hurts, between Jason Terry and Jennings, it gives Parker and Giannis someone to learn from.
They should sign him for the rest of the year, they’ll need his playmaking ability in the playoffs. Bledsoe is decent as a playmaker but is not a Brandon Jennings.
Your right he is better? Jennings isnt the player he used to be and just because he acted like it for one game doesnt change the fact that he is old and wont play like that very often if ever again. He will sign for the rest of the year after this 10 day but he still wont do much but add depth while brogdan and delly are out.
If he has let’s say 2 or 3 games in the playoffs like he did the first which is quite possible once he starts getting in better basketball shape then it’s worth the sign. Yes he won’t probably get back to ever being a 100% again but he appreciates it more now and has mature from what has happened to his knee
