By Justin Worsley,

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings has undergone surgery on his fractured left foot and will be sideline for four to six weeks as he recovers.

Jennings, 21, has taken a more important role in Milwaukee's offense in his second season and is scoring more points per game (17.9) and grabbing more rebounds (4.0) than he was last season.

Prior to his injury, Jennings was yet to miss a game in his short career, playing in 107 straight regular season games as well as seven portseason matches.

Keyon Dooling will most likely replace Jennings in the starting lineup. Dooling has scored 5.2 points per game while averaging 17.3 minutes while playing off the bench.

Earl Boykins is also on their roster, however, he has seen limited action all season and will most likely continue playing off the bench.

The Bucks have lost two straight games and are on a three-game road trip to face Portland, the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago before coming home on Dec. 27 to host the Atlanta Hawks.
