Jennings is expected to make his season debut Monday against the Grizzlies, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings was brought in by the Bucks on a 10-day contract over the weekend and coach Joe Prunty said during his pregame press conference that he was going to try and get him some minutes off the bench. However, Prunty did acknowledge that it will ultimately depend on the flow of the game, so there's still a chance Jennings fails to get on the court. While Jennings will provide some solid depth without Matthew Dellavedova (ankle) and Malcolm Brogdon (quad), he's still unlikely to become a fantasy contributor in the near future.

Jennings has agreed to a 10-day contract with the Bucks, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Bucks continuing to deal with injuries to their backcourt, namely Malcolm Brogdon (quad) and Matthew Dellavedova (ankle), they've opted to add Jennings for depth by way of a 10-day contract. He's played seven G-League games for the Herd, averaging 21.4 points (34.6 percent from the field) and 7.6 assists across 37.0 minutes.

Jennings had 25 points (8-23 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 assists, five rebounds and two steals during Monday's 127-123 win over Delaware.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings was coming a 0-for-10 shooting night and still struggled somewhat (34.8 percent) despite reaching the 25-point mark. In addition, the 6-1 guard accounted for his first double-double of the season Monday. The former lottery draft pick has recorded 10 assists in each of his last two games. Through his first six games with the Herd, Jennings is currently averaging 22.2 points and 8.2 assists.

Jennings registered 29 points (8-24 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and two steals during Sunday's 129-119 loss to host Raptors 905.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings capped off his first week with the Herd in a superb way, scoring 29 while dishing out eight assists as compared to turning the ball over just twice. The former lottery draft pick has somewhat struggled from the field though, shooting 35.4 percent during his last two outings. As long as he plays, he will see the majority of the shot attempts for the Herd. The seventh-year player is averaging 27.9 points, 6.7 assists and 5.0 rebounds through three games.

Jennings recorded 29 points (6-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 15-18 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal during Friday's 115-109 win at Long Island.
EDGE Analysis
In his second game with the Herd, Jennings had a rough shooting night, shooting only 37.5 percent from the floor. However, the seventh-year player managed to get to the free-throw line 18 times, converting 15. It's very likely that Jennings should continue to see the majority of the Herd's offense, as he has proven through it his first two games with the team.

Jennings tallied a team-high 31 points (11-21 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and added eight assists, three rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes in his debut for the G League's Wisconsin Herd in their 128-110 loss to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
A lottery pick of the Bucks in 2009, Jennings was selected by the organization's G League affiliate after wrapping up a stint in the Chinese Basketball Association earlier this season. Jennings reported to the G League with the hope of ginning up interest from NBA teams in the second half of the season, but so long as he remains with the Herd, he should remain a high-usage player and one of the team's top fantasy options. Unfortunately, Jennings displayed the downside Wednesday of handling such a large portion of a team's possessions, turning the ball over a game-high eight times.

Jennings signed a contract with the Herd on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The former 10th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, Jennings spent his first four years on the Bucks, averaging 17.0 points, 5.7 assists and 1.5 steals across 34.6 minutes per game while shooting 39.4 percent from the field. He was subsequently moved to Detroit in a sign-and-trade, where he later tore his Achilles during the 2014-15 season. Since recovering from the injury, he's played in 129 NBA games, shooting just 31.9 percent from the field. His struggles forced him to move on to China over this past summer, where he averaged 27.9 points (43.2 percent), 6.8 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 2.7 steals across 35.0 minutes in 13 games. The 28-year-old will presumably use his time on the Herd as a stepping stone in hopes of making an NBA comeback, though it seems unlikely he would be a significant fantasy contributor even if he makes it back to the Association.

Jennings has signed a G-League contract, Adam Johnson of 2 Ways & 10 Days reports. Per the nature of G-League contracts, Jennings does not sign directly with a team at first. The contract is signed with the league itself, allowing players to go through the waiver process.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings played 81 games between the Knicks and Wizards last season, but ultimately struggled, averaging 7.1 points (35.9 percent), 4.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds across 22.2 minutes per game. As a result, he signed a one-year, $1.5 million deal with China Shanxi in July. In 13 games for the team this season, he averaged 27.9 points (43.2 percent), 6.8 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 2.7 steals across 35.0 minutes. Jennings, at 28 years old, will presumably attempt to play his way back into the NBA.

Jennings agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million deal with China Shanxi on Friday, Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jennings began last season on the Knicks as Derrick Rose's backup at point guard, but was waived in late February after he informed the team he preferred to play for a contender than a rebuilding club. He signed with the Wizards -- a top-seeded playoff team -- just a few days later. In Washington, Jennings saw his overall workload and production take a significant dip, posting just 3.5 points and 4.7 assists while shooting an abysmal 27.4 percent from the field. Likely as a result of his poor play with the Wizards in what is supposed to be the 27-year-old's prime, it appears there weren't any NBA franchises legitimately interested in Jennings' services heading into the 2017-18 campaign. According to Spears, once the Chinese season concludes, Jennings will look for an NBA suitor.

Jennings scored 13 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) while adding four assists in 17 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 116-98 Game 3 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
After being held scoreless in the series opener, Jennings has bounced back with 23 points in the last two games. If Otto Porter's neck injury limits his minutes at all going forward, Jennings could pick up some of the slack, but Kelly Oubre would be the most likely candidate to replace Porter in the starting five if necessary.
