I saw this this morning. I'm actually shocked no one posted about it earlier because I know how we all get in the offseason. Lol

Would be huge if he could be back to speed come the month leading up to the all star break. We'll see.

Wtf? Which is it then? I just read an article that he wasn't even close.

This is great news if it's the truth.

Nice call nba.Com and realgm.

Confused? Anyone else?

What Goodwill reports usually turns out to be wrong, so no confusion at all.

I would tend to believe Aldridge in this situation, especially when nobody but Goodwill is reporting otherwise. For what it's worth he's not even covering the Pistons anymore.

I'm fairly certain Goodwill is wrong on this one.

Jason (Warner Robbins, Ga.): Multiple reports say that Brandon Jennings is not close to being medically cleared. However, Vincent Goodwill reported that Jennings has been medically cleared for full basketball activities. Jennings himself re-Tweeted Goodwill’s Tweet. Is this true?

Langlois: Jennings was due to see the doctor who performed his surgery in New York earlier this week, Jason. If he’s helping to disseminate the news of his recovery, it’s probably right to assume that it is at least Jennings’ understanding that the news is accurate. But, a word of caution: Being cleared to resume basketball activities doesn’t equate to “ready to play an NBA game of basketball.” It more likely means, if accurate, that he can participate in the spectrum of individual drills but not yet engage in full-contact scrimmaging. The Tweet you reference also mentioned a possible return by late November to early December, essentially about two months away. That’s consistent with the timetable Jennings suggested last spring, as well.

This sounds like we'll get Jennings back about 20 games in. Excellent.

This is far faster then I had thought. (Mid Jan sometime is what I thought)

Cleared for basketball activities (drills and such), but SVG doesn't have him running scrimmages with the group

He's going to be careful with Jennings recovery
