Brandon Jennings scored just two points in his return from a 19-game absence on Saturday night as Milwaukee defeated New Jersey 91-81.

Jennings missed all three shots he took, but made a pair of free throws and had one assist in 11 minutes off the bench.

"It felt good just to be back out there with the guys," Jennings said. "I was all right. I knew I wasn't going to play as much, when I did I was just trying to get back in the flow, trying to get my rhythm back. I'm just trying to get better and better in each game."

He had been out since mid-December with a broken foot.

Brandon Jennings is on target to return against the Nets on Saturday night, according to Bucks head coach Scott Skiles.

Jennings, who underwent surgery on a broken left foot on Dec. 20, warmed up prior to Milwaukee's game against Toronto on Friday night.

"It will probably be very limited minutes (Saturday), but hopefully we can get him out there and play a little bit," Skiles said of Jennings, who has missed 19 games.

Jennings is averaging 17.9 points and 5.5 assists per game this season.

The Knicks have surpassed the Lakers as the NBA's most valuable franchise, according to findings from Forbes.

New York is valued at $655 million, while the Lakers are close behind at $643 million.

The Bulls, Celtics and Rockets comprise the remainder of the top-five.

In the wake of LeBron James leaving in free agency, the Cavaliers had a single-year decrease of 26%.

Michael Redd hasn't played since Jan. 10, 2010 and has become a forgotten man in the NBA.

Redd first tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee in January 2009 against Sacramento. He returned for Milwaukee's opener last season but played just 18 games before suffering the same injury against the Lakers.

"This time I wanted to extend my rehab to a year," Redd said. "To do it right."

"The Bucks have been terrific about everything," he added.

Redd says his goal is to return to the court shortly after the All-Star break, with the first week of March likely.

The fifth-highest paid player in the league, Redd will be a free-agent this summer.

"I'm hoping to get 20 or 25 games in this year," Redd said. "Then I'll figure everything out."

Brandon Jennings is progressing, but isn't quite ready to make his return from a broken left foot.

Jennings had a meeting with team doctors on Tuesday, but wasn't cleared for a return to practice and full contact.

"I just got some X-rays again, and everything looks fine," Jennings said. "But they're going to hold me back awhile.

"It's discouraging, of course. Six weeks would be next week (Monday). They just want to make sure everything is all right."

He underwent surgery on Dec. 20 to repair a fractured bone in his left foot and the original timetable for his return was four-to-six weeks.

The Milwaukee Bucks have signed guard Garrett Temple to a 10-day contract, general manager John Hammond announced Tuesday.   

Temple, 24, has appeared in 30 NBA games in stints with San Antonio, Houston and Sacramento over the last two seasons with career averages of 4.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 11.8 minutes.

He appeared in three games earlier this season with San Antonio.

Undrafted out of Louisiana State University, Temple has appeared in 48 game the last two seasons in the NBA's Development League and averaged 14.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals while knocking down 37.5 percent of his 3-pointers.

Brandon Jennings has missed the last month with a broken left foot and the Bucks have struggled to build upon their success last season.

"You know I'm real big on Twitter and a lot of people are taking me off their fantasy teams," Jennings said. "A lot of people are saying they don’t want to watch the Bucks anymore and things like that. Of course, they're probably not true fans.

"I do kind of feel like I've been forgotten so I have to come back and make my stamp again."

Milwaukee opened the season 11-16 and lost Jennings when he broke his foot on Dec. 18.

They are 5-9 since the guard's injury.

"Right now I've been taking a lot of beatings because our team hasn't done what we did last year," Jennings said. "The hardest thing is having one good year and not coming back and doing it again. Yes, there is a lot of pressure on me, but I'm up for it."

Jennings played in every game last season and this injury is the first major one of his basketball career.

DeMar DeRozan will replace Brandon Jennings in the slam dunk competition.

Jennings was injured on December 15th, but won't return for another two weeks.

Blake Griffin, JaVale McGee and Serge Ibaka will also compete.

DeRozan came in second place in the 2010 dunk contest.

Brandon Jennings has been out since Dec. 20 following surgery on his left foot, but his return is getting closer.

Milwaukee's game in Los Angeles against the Clippers on Jan. 31 is a potential return date for the L.A. native.

"I wish (I could play) tomorrow," Jennings said. "Hopefully, when I go back to L.A. so I can play at home against the Clippers. I want to play at home at least one time. Or maybe get one or two games in before we hit L.A."

The original estimate following the injury was that he'd miss four to six weeks.

Amid a 2-8 slide that coincided with injuries to Dirk Nowitzki and Caron Butler, the Mavericks have continued to assess trade options through discussions with numerous teams.

Dallas, however, would prefer to see how the team looks with a healthy Nowitzki, who returned over the weekend, before they decide if they need to make a deal to replace Butler, who is out for the season.

Marc Stein of ESPN.com lists, Stephen Jackson, Tayshaun Prince, J.R. Smith, Corey Maggette and Devin Harris as possible options for the Mavericks.

Harris would only be a possibility if he lands in Denver as part of the three-team trade that would send Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey.
