The Milwaukee Bucks received some devastating news Sunday.

Star shooting guard Michael Redd is out for the rest of the NBA season.

Redd suffered what Bucks officials termed as a strained left knee in the third quarter of Saturdaynight's game againt the Sacramento Kings at the Bradley Center.

Sunday morning, Redd underwent a MRI and learned he had tears in both the ACL and MCL.

Bucks officials weren't available for comment.

Earlier this season, Redd sat out 14 games because of a sprained right ankle.

Redd is the Bucks' leading scorer, averaging 22.2 points per game. He has been playing particularly wellin recent
weeks, recording a 44-point performance against the Sacramento Kings on Jan. 16 and a had a 27-point outing against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Bucks have a 22-25 record and are currently in the eighth -- and final -- spot in the Eastern Conferenceplayoff standings.

The Bucks' next game is Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Bradley Center. It'llbe one of eight games the Bucks will play in their next 12 outings at home.

I was hoping the Bucks would hit the post-season this year, but this greatly hinders their chances.

Good night, Milwaukee.

Gonna have Villanueva and T. Lue putting up 20 shots a night now...

 

[jretro23]

he just recovered from another injury too, sucks for redd cause he was getting his groove back.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Milwaukee stays taking L's.

 

[GreenNGold89]

That hurts...

 

[shuges]

They were playing decent w/o him already.

So they should be ok.

RJ & Charlie V will continue to pick up the scoring load.

RJ & Charlie V will continue to pick up the scoring load.
Which means they'll see their share of combined 6-34 nights.

 

[crazy dav0]

acl injuries shouldn't exist ... injuries just shouldn't exist period ...

 

[coolnificent]

This goes to show how relevant the Bucks are.
Which conference are they in, the East or West ?

I'm serious

But yea, Milwaukee can't catch a break.

 

[lifelessons]

yea this cost me some money last night because the scoring stopped after he got hurt

 

[carlos tevez]

They can now join Toronto, Indiana and Washington in the basement of the East.

 

[willinc]

Damn that sucks.


Hopefully, one less team we'll have to compete with for playoffs.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

injuries happen

suck it up!

 

[dman14]

that sucks, now the warriors have to compete with another team for the top pick

 

[TheGodFresco]

sucks

 

[calibeebee]

Before Redd went down, how did the Bucks suck? Seriously Charlie V, Redd, Jefferson, Bogut, Ridinour, and dare I say Damon Jones/Tyron Lue?
