During the 3rd quarter of the Pistons/Bucks game on Saturday, January 24th, Brandon Jennings left the game in a wheelchair. Always entertaining on social media (and changing/deleting his accounts on the regular), Jennings has kept the public in the know about this injury through a combination of Instagram picture captions and Tweets.
His most recent Instagram picture shows Mr Bloodline in a hospital gown & wrapped ankle. The corresponding caption reveals that Brandon would be out of league play for between 6-to-9 months. Also through his Twitter feed, Jennings left words of encouragement for his teammates; which is a great sign for Pistons fans as he finally looks to be ready to accept the role of leader both on-and-off the court.
This is such an unfortunate injury as Brandon Jennings was averaging 14 points, 6.5 assists, and a steal while playing about 28.5 minutes a game this season. Detroit also suffers as they lost their first game with Jennings against the Raptors.
Good for Brandon Jennings breaking his previous sigma as a selfish player; wish him a speedy & proper recovery.
Not being able to play basketball is the worst thing.

It's a opportunity for someone else now to step up and ball out. Let's keep it Rollin' Fellas.
