Brandon Jennings: Headed to Russia
Brandon Jennings agreed to a contract Monday with BC Zenit Saint Petersburg of the Russian VTB United League, Nikos Varlas of EuroHoops.net reports.After being cut by the Bucks earlier this month, the 28-year-old point guard was unlikely to secure much more than a training-camp invite from an NBA team, so he'll head overseas and take a deal that presumably nets him more guaranteed money. Jennings' contract with the Russian club likely contains an opt-out clause that would allow him to return to the NBA at some point in 2018-19, so he could resurface in North America later in the season if a team wants to add experienced depth to its backcourt. Jennings suited up in 14 games at the NBA level over the past campaign, averaging 5.2 points, 3.1 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per contest.

Brandon Jennings: Waived by Milwaukee
Brandon Jennings was waived by the Bucks on Wednesday, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.The Bucks waited until the final day to make a decision on Jennings' contract, which included an Aug. 1 guarantee date. Milwaukee will let the former first-round pick walk as a free agent after he spent the latter part of last season back where his NBA career began in 2009. Jennings appeared in only 14 games for the Bucks, logging 14.6 minutes per contest and averaging 5.2 points and 3.1 assists per game. While the Bucks don't have room for Jennings on their roster, the 28-year-old will look elsewhere to fill a backup role on what would likely be a minimum or partially guaranteed contract.

Bucks' Brandon Jennings: Contract guarantee date pushed back
Updating a previous report, Brandon Jennings' guarantee date for his $2.2 million contract has been pushed back, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.It was originally reported that Jennings wouldn't be waived Sunday, which meant his $2.2 million contract would then guarantee. However, it appears the Milwaukee Bucks have simply bought themselves more time on a decision and are moving the date back. With the likes of Eric Bledsoe, Matthew Dellavedova and Malcolm Brogdon still on the roster, Milwaukee wouldn't have much trouble replacing the 14.6 minutes per game Jennings averaged a season ago. According to Marc J. Spears of ESPN, the new date for Jennings' guarantee decision will be Aug. 1.

Bucks' Brandon Jennings: Will have contract guaranteed
Brandon Jennings' $2.2 million contract for the 2018-19 season will be guaranteed by the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday, Marc J. Spears of ESPN reports.Jennings signed a pair of 10-day contracts with the Bucks in March of last season, playing well enough during that stretch of games to be inked to a deal for the rest of the season. That included a non-guaranteed salary for the upcoming campaign as well, which the Bucks will now opt into. That means Jennings should be back in a reserve capacity after averaging 5.2 points, 3.1 assists and 2.2 rebounds across 14.6 minutes in 14 games. The Bucks still have the likes of Eric Bledsoe, Matthew Dellavedova and Malcolm Brogdon in the backcourt, so Jennings will likely have a hard time becoming fantasy relevant.

Bucks' Brandon Jennings: Invisible in overtime loss Sunday
Brandon Jennings played just three minutes and failed to record a single stat in Sunday's 128-125 loss to Denver.Jennings barely left the bench Sunday, as the Milwaukee Bucks went with basically an eight-man rotation. After starring in his first game for the Bucks, he has faded terribly of late. He has scored in double-digits just once since that opening game despite seeing regular minutes in the teens. He is not a standard league option and is best left alone in basically all formats.

Bucks' Brandon Jennings: Will sign for rest of season
Brandon Jennings will sign with the Milwaukee Bucks for the rest of the season, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports reports.Jennings' second 10-day contract expired following Friday's win over the Lakers, forcing the Bucks to either sign him for the rest of the season or release him back into the free agent pool. They'll opt with the former option, meaning Jennings will remain with the team into the postseason. The 28-year-old holds averages of 5.5 points, 3.3 assists, and 2.1 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game since joining the team on Mar. 12.

Bucks' Brandon Jennings: Expected to sign second 10-day deal
Brandon Jennings is expected to ink a second 10-day contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.After a massive first game back at the NBA level where he dropped 16 points, 12 dimes and eight boards in 24 minutes, Jennings has cooled off, averaging 2.7 points and 3.3 assists across 13.0 minutes. That said, the team feels confident enough to give Jennings another trial run, as he's been a solid spark off the bench for Milwaukee while the backcourt is riddled with injuries.

Bucks' Brandon Jennings: Contributed little in second game back
Brandon Jennings scored two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) to go along with one rebound and one assist across nine minutes during Wednesday's 126-117 loss to the Magic.Jennings flirted with a triple-double Monday in a blowout win over Memphis, but he played sparingly in Wednesday's contest as his side trialed for much of the evening. Fantasy owners who overreacted to the context of Jennings previous effort were undoubtedly burned by this performance, which should indicate that he's still far from a reliable fantasy asset.

Bucks' Brandon Jennings: Nears triple-double in Monday's season debut
Brandon Jennings recorded 16 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 12 assists, and eight rebounds in 24 minutes during Monday's 121-103 win over the Grizzlies.Jennings was brought in on a 10-day contract by the Milwaukee Bucks, and with Matthew Dellavedova (ankle) suffering a recent setback and Malcolm Brogdon (quad) still sidelined, the former 10th overall pick of Milwaukee (back in 2009) went to work off the bench. Jennings, who boasts career averages of 14.3 points (38.8 FG, 34.6 3Pt, 79.5 FT), 5.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.7 threes, 1.2 steals, and 0.2 blocks in 30.8 minutes per game, hasn't averaged double figures in scoring since 2014-15, while the Grizzlies have lost 18 straight games. As a result, it might be wise to temper expectations, though Jennings has obvious upside thanks to his comfortability with the Bucks and their need for bench production. With the lowly Magic and Hawks on tap for Wednesday and Saturday, Jennings makes for an intriguing option in daily leagues.
