Redd has torn ligaments, will miss rest of season

[January 26, 2009]  MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Milwaukee Bucks star guard Michael Redd will miss the rest of the season with two torn ligaments in his left knee.

Redd was injured in the third quarter of Milwaukee's victory over Sacramento on Saturday night. Bucks general manager John Hammond said Sunday that an MRI exam on Redd's knee revealed a torn ACL and MCL.

Surgery to repair the injury has not been scheduled.

Redd leads the team with 21.2 points per game and is fifth on the franchise's career scoring list. He said in a statement issued by the team that he is "deeply disappointed, but everything in life happens for a reason and this is God's plan for me."
