The Milwaukee Bucks forward Michael Redd underwent an MRI on Monday in Phoenix and was told that his injured left knee needs another surgery, meaning that he had to end this season early again because of the same injury to the same ligaments.
Redd had a surgery in March after tearing the ACL and MCL in his left knee last January, and after less than a year, he tore the same ligaments again on Sunday night in the second quarter of Bucks’ 95-77 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Redd, a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic team, will have surgery later this month and begin rehab as soon as possible. Because of the problems with the knee, he had mostly struggled this season and missed 16 games, averaging just 11.9 points in 18 games, 12 starts.
Putting on NBA jersey as the second-round pick by the Bucks in 2000, Redd had been the team’s top offensive threat, averaging 20.3 points per game for his career and moving up this season to fourth on the franchise’s career scoring list with 11,510 points.
