Pistons practice patience as Jennings pushes for return

Auburn Hills — Not too long after the big moment finally came, Pistons guard Brandon Jennings almost got caught up in it.

In his first game since tearing his left Achilles tendon, Jennings grabbed a rebound and dribbled up court to try to set the offense. But the ball went off his foot and out of bounds.

Turnover.

Jennings had more good moments than bad, though, in his first outing with the D-League Grand Rapids Drive on Saturday night for a sellout crowd of 6,240 at the DeltaPlex Arena.

Never mind his 11 points and 12 assists — along with five turnovers — in 27 minutes.
