Redd's Injured Knee Not Healthy Enough To Play

Bucks guard Michael Redd didn't play on Saturday night after not feeling right in the team's previous game.

Redd told Milwaukee's trainer following Friday night's loss to Oklahoma City that his troublesome left knee wasn't feeling right.

He suffered a left patella tendon strain four weeks ago and only recently returned.

"When you play in game motion, you really find out if you're ready or not," Redd said Saturday. "Explosion is not there yet, and it's obvious. Just not finishing, not getting above the rim.

"I noticed it last night and I was able to tell the trainers, 'We need to get this right before I get back.' We're going to work towards it. Let's get it stronger and get it right."

Defenses Focused On Stopping Jennings

Bucks rookie guard Brandon Jennings has gained national attention for his scoring ability.

In turn, opposing teams are starting to focus more on stopping Jennings, who is averaging 24.2 points, 5.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds this season.

"A lot of teams are starting to trap a lot, and teams are starting to be more physical," Jennings said. "They're not leaving me on pick-and-roll situations; a lot of the big guys are staying with me."

Milwaukee teammate Charlie Bell wasn't quite as technical about how San Antonio handled Jennings on Monday night.

"They beat him up tonight, and they made him work on offense. On our five-out play with Brandon coming off a side-ball screen, he's been able to make shots," Bell said.

"They did a great job of containing it and made every shot he took a tough one. They're a veteran team and they know what they're doing."
