Michael Redd tore his ACL in January of 2010 and he was shut down for the season. He did not appear in any playoff games for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Coming off a shortened season thanks to a serious knee injury Redd was looking to bounce back for the Milwaukee Bucks but injuries again derailed his season and Redd appeared in just 18 games, while starting just 12.

In the season opener, Redd scored 17 points and grabbed 6 rebounds while playing 39 minutes. However just a few days later it was determined that he had a strained patella tendon that saw him miss a few weeks.http://www.nba.com/fantasy/fantasy_playernews.jsp?date=11/02/09&type=news#michael_redd

On November 27th Redd returned to the lineup though he struggled and it was determined he needed more time to recover from the knee strain.http://www.nba.com/fantasy/fantasy_playernews.jsp?date=11/28/09&type=news#michael_redd He returned again on December 11th but after continuing to struggle, an MRI showed that Redd had a torn MCL and he was shut down for the rest of the season.http://www.nba.com/fantasy/fantasy_playernews.jsp?date=01/11/10&type=news#michael_redd
