NBA: Bucks G Redd expected to miss another week

Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Milwaukee Bucks leading scorer Michael Redd could be out another week as he continues a slow recovery from a right ankle injury.

Redd has not played since sustaining a high-ankle sprain at New York on Nov. 2. He did not travel with the team for the start of the Bucks' four-game road trip at Charlotte, and coach Scott Skiles said he doesn't expect Redd to join the team on the road.

The Bucks also visit Orlando, Atlanta and Detroit before returning home on Nov. 29 to face Cleveland.

"He's just having some soreness," Skiles said.

Redd was averaging 21.3 points in four games before the injury. Skiles hinted Redd may have tried to come back too soon when he attempted to practice just over a week ago.

"He felt like he could practice," Skiles said. "He went through about 20 or 30 minutes, but it was clear he couldn't. Maybe that was a little bit of a setback. I don't know."
