Detroit Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy was in attendance as Brandon Jennings made his return to the court in a D-League game on Saturday.

Playing for the Grand Rapids Drive - the Pistons' development league affiliate - the 26-year-old floor general tested his surgically-repaired Achilles as he aims to return to NBA action later this month.

The 6-foot-1 facilitator wasted no time in showing off his restored health with this incredible alley-oop pass off the backboard to a trailing teammate.
