***UPDATE***: I was mistaken about whether or not the Bucks would have to pay Redd if he medically retired and then came back later. They would not owe him anything if that were the case, as his contract would be expired.
As much as his mind has been telling him go for the last few years, his body just won’t seem to cooperate.
Michael Redd will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee. The left knee is the very same knee he suffered the very same injury on last January 24th. This unfortunate turn of events may be the final nail in the coffin of Michael Redd’s sometimes terrific and sometimes turbulent career with the Milwaukee Bucks. It seems almost fitting that an injury, rather than a trade, could be what ultimately keeps Redd from continuing his career on with the Milwaukee Bucks as Redd’s health has escaped him over the past few years. At season’s end, Redd will have missed a total of 152 games over the past four seasons. Read more…
It’s hard to even be concerned about a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on the road. That talent disparity is too great and the road troubles too significant for the current version of the Milwaukee Bucks.
But it isn’t hard to be concerned about another knee injury to Michael Redd.
Either on his jump or on his landing on what looked to be a shot attempted but ended up as a pass in the second quarter, Redd went down and didn’t come back up. The left knee is the same knee he tore his ACL and MCL in last January and gave him soreness earlier this year that required some time off. Whether this is as serious as the latter or another patella strain remains to be seen, but it’s generally not a good sign when a player needs to be helped back to the locker room as Redd did.

That little point guard that can’t shoot and was a possible misfit who played in Europe for a year? Brandon Jennings, was his name?
He’s gone apparently.
In his place is an offensive dynamo that can score from the paint or from behind the three point arc. His name? Brad Jennings. Read more…
