Bucks general manager John Hammond said Wednesday he thinks Brandon Jennings wants to return to Milwaukee next season.
Jennings is slate to be a restricted free agent and has been very clear he doesn't want to play next season on a one-year tender. In fact, Jennings said in March he'll leave as soon as he can if the Bucks decline to offer him a lucrative, long-term deal. The sometimes-controversial point guard has since softened his stance to a more diplomatic "I don't know" on Tuesday when asked if he wants to stay with the Bucks. In the end, we think Jennings probably plays elsewhere next season, but it'll certainly be interesting to see how that happens. May 1 - 5:35 PM

Restricted free agent Brandon Jennings said he "can't answer that" when asked if he wants to return to the Bucks.

"Do I want to be here? I don't know. I can't really answer that right now. You'll know July 1," he said. Does that sound like a guy who wants to be in Milwaukee? He's clashed with coach Jim Boylan and essentially said he wants out. It remains to be seen how the Bucks will play their hand here. They could wait to see what kind of offer sheet Jennings gets, or they could try to pull off a trade. It's an offseason story to monitor closely.

Brandon Jennings shot 1-of-7 from the field for three points with one assist, one steal, one 3-pointer and two turnovers in 23 minutes against the Heat on Sunday.

That's not exactly the way a player would want to end his contract and this horrible game could cost Jennings. He's shown some flashes here and there, but as a career 39.4 percent shooter, he's not exactly an ideal option as a team's primary scoring option. Jennings could certainly use some help around him next season.

Brandon Jennings - G - Bucks

Brandon Jennings softened his stance on the Bucks with restricted free agency around the corner.

Jennings, who is notorious for saying the wrong things at the wrong times, picks an awfully interesting time to clarify his previous remarks. "I said some things, you know, that I probably shouldn't have to make [the fans] think that [these might be my last days]," he said. "But in general I wouldn't want to leave without actually accomplishing something here and that's getting out of the first round or something like that." With an early postseason exit looming and free agency about to smack Jennings in the face, it seems like Jennings is simply trying to save face here.

Brandon Jennings hit 8-of-20 shots and four 3-pointers on his way to 26 points and a steal in Sunday's loss.

Jennings didn't look great tonight, but was one of just two Bucks to hit double figures in scoring tonight. For the Bucks to win a game in this series, both Jennings and Monta Ellis will have to shoot lights out, which will be tough against the Miami defense.

Brandon Jennings said he expects the Bucks to beat the Heat in six games in the first round of the playoffs.

What else is he going to say? His comments will raise just about everyone's eyebrows, but frankly he'd be bashed if he picked against his own team, so we're not inclined to put a ton of stock into this. "There's no pressure on us," Jennings said.

Brandon Jennings left Wednesday's game in the first quarter after suffering a right foot injury, but was able to return in the second quarter and finished with 17 points and five 3-pointers on 6-of-14 shooting.

He was already dealing with a left Achilles injury, but it doesn't sound like this is an aggravation of that injury. The Bucks were locked into the No. 8 seed and a date with the Heat, so it was a little surprising to see Jennings back out there, but that's a good sign the injury isn't serious.

Brandon Jennings - G - Bucks

Brandon Jennings (Achilles) returned to action on Monday but struggled mightily, hitting just 1-of-11 shots for four points, three rebounds, four assists and zero steals in 29 minutes.

We'll keep our ear to the ground to see if his Achilles' injury is going to be an issue, but otherwise owners should stay open-minded to the chance he bounces back in the finale. Monta Ellis (38 points, four assists, six threes) and J.J. Redick (20 points, four threes) picked up the slack in the backcourt.

Brandon Jennings will play for the Bucks on Monday against the Nuggets.

Jennings has been out with an Achilles injury, but will battle through it tonight as he gets ready for the playoffs. Larry Sanders, who is dealing with a back injury, will miss another game and might be sidelined until the playoffs. If you still have time to get Jennings in your lineup, it's probably a good idea.

Brandon Jennings (Achilles) is "improving," but he's doubtful for Monday's game vs. Denver

We should know more after shootaround, but Jennings could be headed for the dreaded game-time call if he continues to report improvement, or he could be held out again. The team will be careful with Jennings, so if he doesn't play, look for Monta Ellis to continue rolling without him. As for Sanders, the team will take a cautious approach, so John Henson is shaping up to be a strong play again.

Updating a previous report, Brandon Jennings (Achilles) and Larry Sanders (back) were both ruled out for Saturday's game in Charlotte.

This is bad news for Milwaukee, as they try to snap a three-game losing streak, and it should secure heavy minutes for both J.J. Redick and John Henson, who is averaging 12.5 points, 16.5 rebounds and 4.5 blocks in the past two games.

Brandon Jennings (sore Achilles) has been ruled out on Friday.

Jennings will watch from the sidelines as the Bucks take on the Hawks. Without Jennings available, the Bucks could choose to start Monta Ellis at point guard and J.J. Redick at shooting guard, but even if Redick comes off the bench he's guaranteed to see a ton of playing time.

Brandon Jennings (Achilles) and Larry Sanders (back) are questionable to play Friday against the Hawks.

Jennings was lifted from Wednesday's game with soreness in the Achilles and did not return, while Sanders took a hard spill and also took an early exit. If both are forced to miss time, Monta Ellis and J.J. Redick would likely be Milwaukee's starting backcourt and each would be guaranteed big minutes, while John Henson, who went off for 17 points and 25 rebounds on Wednesday, would also likely see an extended role.

Brandon Jennings will not return to Wednesday's game due to a sore left Achilles.

Another tough break for Jennings' owners, who now have to worry that the injury could sideline him for the remaining regular-season games. J.J. Redick could blow up if Jennings is going to miss more games. In more bad news for the Bucks, Larry Sanders will also not return after taking a hard fall on his back tonight. Jennings finished with just three points in six minutes.

Brandon Jennings will be evaluated at halftime of Wednesday's game due to a sore left Achilles.

He is back in the locker room right now and there's a very good chance that he's out for the game. Monta Ellis and J.J. Redick will handle most of the backcourt duties and Mike Dunleavy will also have more on his plate offensively.
