Brandon Jennings could return sooner than expected achilles surgery

The Detroit Pistons could be getting a big boost with Brandon Jennings' return from a torn Achilles sooner than expected.

Doctors have cleared Jennings to being full basketball activities with the possibility of a late-November/early-December return.

Jennings suffered the Achilles tear during a January 24 game against Milwaukee and had surgery a few days later. He said the injury would put him on the shelf for six to nine months, so his timeframe lines up with the surgery.
