The Milwaukee Bucks received some devastating news Sunday.
Star shooting guard Michael Redd is out for the rest of the NBA season.
Redd suffered what Bucks officials termed as a strained left knee in the third quarter of Saturday night's game againt the Sacramento Kings at the Bradley Center.
Sunday morning, Redd underwent a MRI and learned he had tears in both the ACL and MCL.
Bucks officials weren't available for comment.
Earlier this season, Redd sat out 14 games because of a sprained right ankle.
Redd is the Bucks' leading scorer, averaging 22.2 points per game. He has been playing particularly well in recent
weeks, recording a 44-point performance against the Sacramento Kings on Jan. 16 and a had a 27-point outing against the Dallas Mavericks.
The Bucks have a 22-25 record and are currently in the eighth -- and final -- spot in the Eastern Conference playoff standings.
The Bucks' next game is Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Bradley Center. It'll be one of eight games the Bucks will play in their next 12 outings at home.

What was that you were saying about the playoff bound Bucks?

Let the excuses start flying on why the Bucks won't make the playoffs now. The Packers had a ton of guys hurt, but it's Thompson's fault they didn't make the playoffs. Redd gets hurt, and Gery will say that is unfortunate and this will be the reason the Bucks won't make it.
Man was that a cut and paste article? They'll still make the playoffs in fact I think in the end they'll be better without him. His defense was poor at best for a max contract guy. He took alot of poor shots that were early in the shot clock. Yeah he was making a fair amount of them in the last couple of weeks but still awful shots. Charlie V will benefit from this the most and I think he becomes the Bucks main scorer. More Bogut too. They'll be fine, it just sucks this hurts his trade value.
