Milwaukee Bucks General Manager John Hammond announced today that guard Michael Redd will miss the remainder of the season. See full story.

· Torn (ACL) and (MCL) in his left knee during the third period of the Bucks win over Sacramento on Saturday, January 24

· "I’m deeply disappointed but everything in life happens for a reason and this is God’s plan for me," said Redd.  "I have faith in my teammates and coaches to continue to work together to make our fans proud.  I will be supporting them wholeheartedly from the sidelines and working equally hard to return to the court in the best condition possible for next season.

· "A special thank you to all our fans for their great support this season – my 9th as a Milwaukee Buck.  Our team still has work to do and I know with our collective support we can cheer them on to a special season."

· In 33 games this season (32 starts), Redd averaged a team-high 21.2 points with 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steal in 36.5 minutes. 

· Saturday’s game was Redd’s 550th in a Bucks uniform – 8th in Milwaukee history.  This season, he moved into 5th on the Bucks all-time scoring list, passing the 11,000 point mark at Charlotte on January 3; 5th in minutes played and 8th in field goals made.  He stands 184 points behind Bob Dandridge for 4th all-time in franchise scoring (11,478); 31 field goals made behind Sidney Moncrief for 7th all-time (4,000); 34 free throws behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for 2nd all-time (2,374); and 19 games behind Glenn Robinson for 7th all-time (568).

Andrew Bogut missed his sixth consecutive game and ninth game this month for the Bucks with back spasms and is listed as day-to-day. The Bucks improved to 5-8 on the year without their starting center. Charlie Bell was also inactive with right ankle soreness for the fifth time this month and is day-to-day.

The Bucks recorded their 22nd win Saturday and didn’t do so last season until February 26th.  The Bucks improved to 9-1 after losses in their last ten opportunities.

Wisconsin (12-7, 3-4) was led by Joe Krabbenhoft who posted his eighth career double-double with a career-high 16 points and 12 rebounds. UW was unable to top a hot shooting Illinois offense en route to its fourth conference (17-3, 5-2). Full story.
