A basketball source has confirmed that Michael Redd suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee on Sunday night in Los Angeles. The injury will sideline the Bucks shooting guard for the rest of the season.
The injury is the same one that Redd suffered nearly one year ago, on Jan. 24 against Sacramento at the Bradley Center. He suffered a torn ACL and torn MCL in his left knee on that night and was lost for the rest of the season.
On Sunday, Redd planted on his left foot as he made a move in the lane during the Bucks' 95-77 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center. He immediately was helped off the court.
The silver lining is that it opens up opportunities for Bogut and Jennings again, but it's certainly not the ideal way for it to come about and you hate to see a career derailed by injuries. RealGM's summary of the article describes the injury as career threatening while the original article isn't quite as melodramatic, but to state the obvious it certainly isn't good news for Redd to go down two years in a row with the same severe injury.
sucks because both me and my sister have suffered with those ligaments in the past but as you guys said, good for Jennings and Bogut.
