Point guard Brandon Jennings is no longer with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to multiple reports.Last season, the Bucks signed Jennings to a two-year, non-guaranteed contract after he completed two ten-day deals with the team. With injuries to point guards Matthew Dellavedova and Malcolm Brogdon, the Bucks sought to bolster their bench depth by bringing Jennings on board.

Jennings most recently played for Shanxi Zhongyu in the Chinese Basketball Association before returning to the Bucks last season. In his fourteen games with the Bucks, he averaged 5.2 points, 3.1 assists, and 2.2 rebounds.
The Bucks originally drafted Jennings with the 10th overall pick in the 2009 NBA draft. After a four-year stint with the Bucks, he went on to play for other NBA teams such as the Orlando Magic, Detroit Pistons, Washington Wizards, and New York Knicks before rejoining the Bucks last season.
Coincidentally, Jennings’s departure aligns with the announcement of the Bucks signing Pat Connaughton.
Standing at 6 feet 5 inches, guard Connaughton spent his first three seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers.
Connaughton, 25, has averaged 3.7 points and 1.6 rebounds in a reserve role during his time with the Blazers.
Following the recent moves, the Bucks now have fourteen players under guaranteed contracts for the upcoming season. Center Tyler Zeller remains on the roster with a non-guaranteed deal, slated to become guaranteed on January 10. Additionally, Travis Trice and Brandon McCoy recently signed with the Bucks on training camp contracts.
During training camp, NBA teams are allowed to have up to 20 players on their roster before trimming down to 15 players prior to the start of the regular season.
