MILWAUKEE (AP) — Rookie Brandon Jennings will make his first ESPN appearance as a pro on Friday when the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The network announced that the game was picked up and moved back to an 8:30 p.m. start to be televised nationally.

The 20-year-old point guard has had a string of strong performances so far, scoring double digits in 10 of Milwaukee's first 11 games and averaging 25.3 points.

Jennings became the youngest player in NBA history to score at least 50 with his 55-point performance on Nov. 14 against the Warriors.

The Thunder, meanwhile, are also off to a surprising start, led by Kevin Durant, who is averaging 27.7 points per game.
