Bucks' Redd Has Successful Surgery

Posted: 6:05 pm CST March 3, 2009

(Sports Network) - Milwaukee Bucks sharpshooter Michael Redd had successful knee surgery Tuesday to repair a season-ending injury he suffered in a January 24 game against Sacramento.

In the game, a 106-104 win for the Bucks, Redd was hurt with 2:33 left in the third quarter. A subsequent MRI exam revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament as well as a torn medial collateral ligament in the left knee.

The procedure Tuesday morning was performed by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Brian Cole, M.D., in Oak Park, Illinois.

Redd will immediately begin a rehabilitation course of about six months. The team announced he should be ready for the start of training camp prior to the 2009-10 season.

Redd was averaging a team-best 21.2 points with 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 33 games this season.
