VIDEO: Brandon Jennings' comeback starts with a bang
Detroit Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy was in attendance as Brandon Jennings made his return to the court in a D-League game on Saturday.
Playing for the Grand Rapids Drive - the Pistons' development league affiliate - the 26-year-old floor general tested his surgically-repaired Achilles as he aims to return to NBA action later this month.
The 6-foot-1 facilitator wasted no time in showing off his restored health with this incredible alley-oop pass off the backboard to a trailing teammate.
Fans of slow-motion replays will enjoy the following video as well.

Moments later, Jennings drained a deep 3-pointer.
Seems as though Jennings is showing no signs of rust in the early stages of his comeback.
