I usually don’t like to read too much into players’ vague tweets, because they’re too often talking about something you don’t think they’re talking about. But there’s only on way to take this: Brandon Jennings will be out 6-to-9 months after getting hurt in the Pistons’ loss to the Bucks last night. That timeline would square with the Pistons’ concern of a torn Achilles.

So, not only is Jennings out the rest of this season, he might not be ready for the start of next season.

It was almost certain bad news was coming. Here it is.
