Bucks shelve Michael Redd for final 6 games

Veteran guard Michael Redd will miss the Milwaukee Bucks' final six games of the season because of recurring knee problems.

Redd, 27, suffered from discomfort in his left knee and sat out two games before aggravating the injury in Saturday's 118-113 overtime loss to the New York Knicks.

He missed 20 games with knee problems earlier in the season.

"After consulting with our team physicians, the best course of action for Michael going forward is to rest and rehabilitate his knee," Bucks general manager Larry Harris said. "We expect him to make a full recovery."

Redd averaged 26.7 points this season, the highest by a member of the Bucks since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaged 30.0 points in 1974-75.

Redd also averaged 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 38.3 minutes in 52 starts.

The Ohio State product is a 45.3 per cent shooter as a pro, averaging 20.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 33.2 minutes in 444 NBA appearances (311 starts) since being drafted in the second round (43rd overall) by Milwaukee in 2000.
