Brandon Jennings is a former professional basketball player who played in the NBA for several teams. He was selected 10th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2009 NBA draft and played four seasons with the team before being traded to the Detroit Pistons in 2013. He spent his next three seasons in Detroit before being traded to the Orlando Magic in 2016. He went on to split the 2016–17 season between the New York Knicks and Washington Wizards.

Jennings suffered several injuries during his career. On December 15, 2010, he broke his left foot against the San Antonio Spurs, but he finished the game and played 30 minutes the following game against the Jazz. The team later confirmed that Jennings would miss the next four to six weeks as he recovered from surgery to repair a fracture in his left foot. Jennings missed a total of 19 games with the injury before returning on January 29, 2011, in a 91–81 home victory over the New Jersey Nets.

On January 25, 2015, Jennings was ruled out for the rest of the season due to a ruptured left Achilles tendon that required surgery. On the season, he averaged 15.4 points, 6.6 assists, and 1.1 steals in 41 games. According to a recent article, Jennings wants to return to the NBA, but it is improbable as he has not been in the league for a couple of years, and he turns 31 in 2020.
