Bucks` Redd Out For Season With Torn Knee Ligament

Redd tore anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in the knee during the third period of the Bucks` win over Sacramento.

Milwaukee Bucks starting guard Michael Redd will miss the remainder of the season after tearing ligaments in his left knee, the team said on Sunday.

Redd tore anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in the knee during the third period of the Bucks' win over Sacramento on Saturday, Milwaukee general manager John Hammond told www.nba.com/bucks. Surgery will be scheduled at a later date.

"I'm deeply disappointed but everything in life happens for a reason," Redd said. "I will be supporting them wholeheartedly from the sidelines and working equally hard to return to the court in the best condition possible for next season."

The 29-year-old Redd started 32 of 33 games for the Bucks this season. He averaged a team-best 21.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists.
