Brandon Jennings Tweets '6-9 Months' ... Alluding To Injury

DETROIT (97.1 THE TICKET) - The Pistons announced Saturday night that they will be without guard Brandon Jennings when they take on the Raptors in Toronto on Sunday night. He scored 16 points before leaving late in the third with a lower left leg injury. But now Jennings has tweeted out an indication that it's going to be much longer.

Saturday night the Pistons said Jennings would undergo further evaluation after the guard needed help getting to the locker room. Jennings was on the floor in pain for several seconds after planting off his left leg while guarding an inbounds pass.

"It doesn't look good," coach Stan Van Gundy said. "It is a major, major loss."

The Pistons have lost two straight on the road after tying a franchise record with seven straight wins away from Detroit.

"It wouldn't matter if we had Brandon or not," Van Gundy said. "If we are going to play like that, we are not beating anybody."
