Brandon Jennings: Set to make season debut Tuesday

Coach Stan Van Gundy said that Jennings (Achilles) is "ready to go" for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Jennings has been in uniform for the Pistons' last three games, but didn't leave the bench, as Van Gundy only intended to use the point guard in case of emergency. With an extra week to rest up following an arduous rehab process for the torn Achilles' tendon, Jennings is expected to come off the bench for limited minutes Monday, marking his first NBA appearance in nearly 11 months. Jennings is eventually expected to assume the second spot on the depth chart at the point behind starter Reggie Jackson, but with backup Steve Blake playing his best basketball of the season, Jennings could be forced to settle for a more limited role initially.
