He made his debut in the league in 2013-14, the first of his three seasons with Crvena Zvezda. He spent the 2015-16 season with EA7 Emporio Armani Milan. A native of New York, Jenkins has also played with Golden State and Philadelphia in the NBA.

The Serbian club received a $ 100.000 buy out in order to let him go.
