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 …read more
