The Milwaukee Bucks and fantasy owners alike are counting down the days until Michael Redd is ready to play again. Over the course of the last month, Redd has been hobbled with injury. Although he was able to play nine games in that time span, he wasn’t the same Michael Redd that we’ve come to expect.
Redd is currently battling a nagging knee injury. The good news is that the Bucks are hopefully that Redd will be able to play on Saturday against the New York Knicks. If he’s able to go, Redd is obviously a very good start in fantasy basketball considering he’s going up against the lowly Knicks.
With Redd out of the lineup, Mo Williams has been the main player who has picked up the scoring burden. Williams, who becomes more of a shooting guard with Redd sidelined, has scored more than 30 points in his last two games. Both Royal Ivey and Charlie Bell get extended playing time when Redd is out.
If you own Redd in a fantasy basketball league, consider trading him if you can get a good deal. Redd’s knee may continue to bother him to the point the Bucks decide to end his season early and play for the ping pong balls. If you can get a more durable player that can produce similarly, look into trading Redd soon after he comes back.
Michael Redd Time to Shine …
