Brandon Jennings to miss Pistons camp

Auburn Hills — The Pistons may be in trouble at point guard.

Backup Brandon Jennings, who still is rehabilitating from a left Achilles injury, will miss training camp and might not return to five-on-five drills until November.

That means means veteran Steve Blake (12 seasons, 10 teams) will battle second-year man Spencer Dinwiddie to back up starter Reggie Jackson.

Dinwiddie showed flashes last season, but struggled during the Orlando Summer League, turning the ball over and failing to run the team consistently. Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy believes knee surgery had something to do with Dinwiddie’s inconsistency.
