The Milwaukee Bucks were delivered a devastating blow when they learned that Michael Redd will miss the rest of the season due to torn knee ligaments. Redd’s injury occurred during a recent game against the Sacramento Kings.
After attempting a shot near the basket, Redd landed awkwardly and ended up tearing both his ACL and MCL in his left knee. The injury is considered significant and Redd will face a long recovery process.

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.

2) Manu Ginobili, San Antonio Spurs
