Jennings (thumb) will not play Tuesday against Milwaukee, David Mayo of MLive.com reports.

Analysis:

Jennings has a sprained left thumb, and though X-rays were negative, he's dealing with substantial pain and told reporters during Tuesday's shootaround that he's unable to shoot. That means D.J. Augustin will likely get the start at point guard, and he should see substantial minutes. The Pistons host the Clippers on Wednesday, and at this point Jennings' chances of playing appear rather bleak.
