Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) – Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon Jennings made his return to the lineup Saturday after missing 19 games with a fractured foot.

Jennings has not played since undergoing surgery on December 20 to repair a break to the fifth metatarsal in his left foot. He suffered the injury in the Bucks’ 95-86 loss to the Utah Jazz on December 18.

Jennings came off the bench in Saturday’s contest, the first time the second- year guard has played as a reserve in his career.

Jennings, 21, is averaging a team-best 17.9 points per game and had started 114 consecutive games, including postseason, prior to the setback.

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks have signed guard Garrett Temple to a 10-day contract.

The 24-year-old Temple has appeared in 30 games with San Antonio, Houston and Sacramento over the last two seasons, averaging 4.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in a little under 12 minutes.

The Bucks have struggled with injuries to starters Brandon Jennings (left foot), John Salmons (right hip) and Drew Gooden (left foot). They have lost 10 of their last 14 games.

With Tuesday’s move, Milwaukee’s roster is at 15 players.

On Dec. 4, the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Orlando Magic 96-85 at the Bradley Center.

The Magic will look almost completely different when the teams face each other again tonight.

Orlando used eight players in that initial meeting. Of those eight, only one, Brandon Bass, is certain to receive playing time this evening.

With Dwight Howard and Jameer Nelson suffering from a stomach bug, coach Stan Van Gundy employed the following starting lineup back on Dec. 4.

Chris Duhon PG
Vince Carter SG
Quentin Richardson SF
Rashard Lewis PF
Marcin Gortat C

Bass, Malik Allen and Jason Williams came off the bench that night, because Ryan Anderson had a sprained foot and Mickael Pietrus and J.J. Redick suffered from the same stomach bug that plagued Howard and Nelson.

The Magic look much different now.

• Carter, Lewis, Gortat and Pietrus have been traded.
• Anderson, Howard, Nelson and Redick are healthy.
• Gilbert Arenas, Earl Clark, Jason Richardson and Hedo Turkoglu have arrived in trades.
• Allen is injured.
• Duhon and Quentin Richardson are no longer in the eight-man rotation.

Barring any unexpected developments, Van Gundy will start Nelson, Jason Richardson, Turkoglu, Bass and Howard tonight. None of them started for the Magic against the Bucks back on Dec. 4.

The Bucks also are a bit different. Starting point guard Brandon Jennings — who scored 27 points, grabbed seven rebounds and dished out six assists in the teams’ initial game — will not play tonight because he’s recovering from surgery on his left foot.
