WALKER, MI -- Brandon Jennings is back and the Detroit Pistons soon could have to reconsider their backcourt because of it.

The Pistons guard made his NBA Development League debut Saturday and played his first live game in 329 days, a 130-104 Grand Rapids Drive victory over the Iowa Energy before a franchise-record crowd of 6,240 at DeltaPlex.

Jennings, who could be back in uniform with the Pistons as soon as next week, had a double-double with 11 points and 12 assists in 27 minutes of playing time. He was 4 of 9 from the field, including 2 of 5 on 3-pointers, and 1 of 2 from the free-throw line. Jennings also had three rebounds and five turnovers.

It was the first time the 26-year-old point guard played since he suffered a torn left Achilles in a Jan. 24 game at Milwaukee.

This likely was a one-off game with the Drive. Jennings, as a veteran player, had to agree to the assignment. And no player of his stature ever had accepted a rehabilitation assignment in the D-League before. The most prominent player to do so previously was Festus Ezeli.

Jennings willingly took the assignment, then showed plenty of the panache associated with his game.

He fired a transition pass off the high glass for a Devin Ebanks dunk early in the game. He dribbled behind the back with one hand, his left, before passing to Pistons teammate Reggie Bullock for a left-wing 3-pointer.

He threw long lob passes for emphatic dunks to Bullock and Xavier Ford.

It wasn't all smooth -- Jennings had a couple bad turnovers, including one he dribbled off his heel without a serious defensive contest -- but it was an encouraging game for a Pistons team hoping to regain injured guards Jennings and Jodie Meeks (broken foot, projected for a post-All-Star return).

Bullock and Darrun Hilliard, Pistons perimeter players sent here to give Jennings familiar faces to play with during what is likely to be the latter's only game in Grand Rapids, had big games themselves.

Bullock had 29 points on 10-of-12 shooting, including 6-of-8 shooting on 3-pointers. He also had five assists, five rebounds and four steals.

Hilliard had 23 points, three assists, a steal and two blocked shots.
