Knicks' Brandon Jennings: Will return to the bench Monday
Jennings will return to the bench for Monday's game against the Lakers, Ian Begley of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis:
Derrick Rose (ankle) has missed the last four games, a stretch where Jennings had averaged 17.0 points, 8.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers and 3.0 steals per game. However, with Rose back in the lineup and expected to take on his usual role with the starters, Jennings will return to the bench and is in line to see a significant decrease in playing time and production. Look for his minutes to settle back into the 20-to-25 range.
