Redd reflects on his time in Milwaukee (Audio)

February 8, 2012 By

After spending 11 years with the Milwaukee Bucks, Michael Redd returned to

Michael Redd as a Buck

the Bradley Center as a member of the Phoenix Suns last night.  On his way to the lockerroom, Redd took a turn towards the Bucks lockerroom, the same lockerroom he’s occupied for many home games.  This time, Redd was turned away and pointed in the direction of the visiting lockerroom. 

Redd has made quite an impact during his stay with the Bucks, ranking 4th on the team’s all-time scoring list.  But now, he’s a member of the Phoenix Suns after signing there at the start of the season. 

Redd didn’t play in the first matchup against the Bucks in Phoenix back on January 8th while coming back from a knee injury.  But his playing time has been increasing of late.  He scored 14 points for the Suns in their 107-105 win over the Bucks last night.

Stephen Jackson and Brandon Jennings scored 20 points each and Ersan Ilyasova pulled down a career high 19 rebounds in the win.  The Bucks (7-10) snapped an 11-game losing streak at Houston.  The last Bucks victory came back in 1999.

Kevin Martin scored 29 points to lead the Rockets, who saw their 7-game win streak come to an end.

The Bucks are in Chicago on Friday night to face the Bulls.

Andrew Bogut

The Bucks lost big man Andrew Bogut in the 1st half with an ankle injury.  Injuries came up negative, but Bogut was scheduled to undergo an MRI today.
