Bucks guard Brandon Jennings recorded the first triple-double of his career in the team's 98-88 victory over the Bobcats on Saturday night.

The second-year guard had 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in Milwaukee's home opener.

"This is my best game since I've been in the NBA just the fact that I had a nose for the ball and I was being unselfish and I was everywhere," said Jennings. "I was being a floor general tonight."

The Bucks have exercised the option on the contract of GM John Hammond, and extended the contract of Head Coach Scott Skiles, the team announced on Tuesday.  

The agreements keep both Hammond and Skiles in their respective positions with the Bucks through the 2012-13 season.

?John and Scott do an outstanding job for our basketball team,? said Herb Kohl, team president.  ?They work very well together and are each highly respected by the players and among their peers.  In a short time together, they have brought our team to a very high level of performance.?

The Bucks clinched a playoff berth last season by winning 46 games, the most by the franchise since the 2000-01 campaign, and took their first round playoff series with the Atlanta Hawks to seven games.

The Milwaukee Bucks have requested waivers on forward/center Brian Skinner, General Manager John Hammond announced Monday.

Skinner signed as a free agent on September 29.

He appeared in all eight of the team's exhibition games and averaged 1.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 11.6 minutes.

A veteran of 12 NBA seasons (including 2003-04 and 2006-07 in Milwaukee), Skinner holds averages of 4.8 points and 4.7 rebounds in 605 career games.

Milwaukee's roster now stands at 15 players.

The Bucks have exercised their third-year option on guard Brandon Jennings, GM John Hammond announced today.

Jennings started all 82 games for the Bucks in 2009-10, helping them to a 46-36 record (their most wins since a 50-32 mark in 2000-01) and their first playoff appearance since 2006. The 10th overall selection in the 2009 NBA Draft finished third among rookies with 15.5 points, 5.7 assists and 1.3 steals to go with 3.4 rebounds. He hit 37.4 percent (145-388) of his three-pointers and sank 81.7 percent (223-273) of his free throws in a rookie season that saw him set franchise rookie records in assists (470) and three-pointers made (145).

Michael Redd hopes to return to the court for the Bucks in February as he recovers from his second consecutive surgery for anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligament tears in his left knee.

Redd is making $18.3 million in the final year of his contract this season.

"I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now," he said. "I can really see myself playing again, feeling good again and getting explosive again.

"You kind of develop that confidence over your time in therapy. It's almost mental therapy as well."

Redd added that he is very grateful for how the Bucks have treated him and that he'll welcome whatever role is offered when he does return.

"I just know I want to come back and do my part, whatever it is," he said. "There's no doubt about it. My mind is to come back and to play and help this team out as much as I can when I get back.

"Any role, any role, just to play basketball and be a part. That's it. And that's been my mentality my whole tenure here. To do the best I can do."

The Bucks have requested waivers on guard Chris Kramer, GM John Hammond announced Tuesday.

Kramer signed as a free agent on September 27. He appeared in four of the team's preseason games and averaged 5.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 assist.

Milwaukee's training camp roster now stands at 16 players.

Bucks center Andrew Bogut logged 14 minutes on Sunday night against the Timberwolves in his first appearance since dislocating his right elbow, spraining his wrist and breaking his hand back in April.

Bogut had 11 points and five rebounds in Milwaukee's loss to Minnesota.

"It was great," teammate Chris Douglas-Roberts said. "He definitely has a presence out there if he's scoring or not."

Bogut had hoped to return on Saturday night against Memphis, but was sidelined with a migraine.

Bucks center Andrew Bogut missed Saturday night's preseason game against the Grizzlies because of a migraine headache.

Bogut is working back from serious injuries to his hand and arm suffered near the end of last season.

He participated in pregame workouts before leaving the arena.

Rookie Darington Hobson has undergone successful surgery on his left hip and will miss the remainder of the season.

Hobson had the surgery on Tuesday in Milwaukee and will undergo a similar procedure on his right hip later this year.

Milwaukee drafted Hobson with the 37th overall pick in June's NBA Draft.

Andrew Bogut will likely be limited by injury all season long.

Bogut has missed Milwaukee's first three exhibition games with soreness and swelling in his surgically repaired right hand.

"I might not be 100% the whole year," said Bogut.

He suffered injuries to his right hand, wrist and elbow in a gruesome fall on April 3.

"The elbow, finger, everything ... I won't be 100%, so I'll have to play through the pain through the season. Even once it gets better, I'm still going to be 90% for the year or 85%," the center said.

"I don't have my mobility and flexibility like I should, but I just have to adjust to it."
