Jennings out 4 to 6 weeks with broken left foot

"Brandon Jennings will be out for four to six weeks with a fractured fifth metatarsal in his left foot and will undergo surgery in Milwaukee on Monday afternoon, the team announced.

Jennings suffered the injury in San Antonio last week and underwent a magnetic resonance imaging exam on Sunday that confirmed a diagnosis made by Bucks physician Michael Gordon. Jennings played 30 minutes against Utah on Saturday but complained of pain in his left foot after the game and said he had little lateral movement.

The 21-year-old point guard's streak of 107 consecutive games will end Monday night when the Bucks play the Portland Trail Blazers at the Rose Garden.

"Brandon has missed one practice in two years, let alone missing a game," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said after the team's shootaround at the Rose Garden on Monday morning. "He's been very, very durable. It's unfortunate.

"Injuries are a huge part of pro sports. We keep thinking at some point we'll have everybody healthy for a practice. We haven't had that yet this year. We're a little bit snakebit with it. But we need guys to step up and perform."

Jennings was the Bucks' leading scorer, averaging 17.9 points, and he also led the team in assists (5.5 per game) and three-point field goals (47)."
