The chances are fairly good Michael Redd will be in the starting lineup Wednesday night when the Milwaukee Bucks host the Washington Wizards and Caron Butler at the Bradley Center.
Redd took a nasty spill while pursuing a loose ball in the third quarter of Sunday night’s game against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
The Bucks star guard walked gingerly off the court and didn’t return to the game.
I talked with Bucks general manager John Hammond Monday and he said Redd suffered a sprained right ankle and didn’t believe it was serious.
Hammond added that the team didn't take any X-rays of Redd's ankle.
Hammond also said Bucks starting point guard Luke Ridnour was progressing nicely and expected him to return to action against the Wizards.
Ridnour has been experiencing back spasms and sat out the Bucks’ last two games.
Butler, the former Park High School star, will be making the first of two appearances at the Bradley Center this season.
Butler, who has been chosen to the NBA's Eastern Conference All-Star team the last two seasons, is averaging 17 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists in two games.
