Report: Bucks to sign Brandon Jennings for remainder of season

After two 10-day contracts, the Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly keeping Brandon Jennings around on a deal for the rest of the season, sources told Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports.

Jennings' second 10-day pact expired on Friday, meaning the Bucks had to decide whether to re-sign him or cut him loose.

The point guard is averaging 5.5 points, 3.3 assists, and 2.1 rebounds in 10 games with the Bucks since first signing with them on March 11, and in his first game with Milwaukee, the 28-year-old finished with 16 points, 12 assists, and eight rebounds - just two boards shy of a triple-double.

He's expected to continue to back up starting point guard Eric Bledsoe down the final stretch of the regular season. Jennings is also eligible to play for the Bucks in the postseason, as he was not with a different NBA team at the March 1 playoff eligibility waiver deadline.
