Michael Redd Sustains Knee Injury

The severity is not yet known, but Michael Redd strained his left knee Saturday night in a win over the Sacramento Kings. Redd said he landed on PG Luke Ridnour's foot after attempting a shot under the basket. According to Madison.com, Redd will undergo an MRI today (Sunday) to see if there's any severe damage. At this point, it's looking like he's day-to-day, but any tearing would keep him out for weeks-to-months. We'll have the latest updates on The Pulse and on tomorrow's Monday M*A*S*H Unit on FantasyBasketball.com.

In addition, it's time to expect more from Ramon Sessions in the coming games while Redd is sidelined. Milwaukee will have to find playmaking and long-range shooting off the bench, and he's the most likely candidate for a bump in minutes.

Updates will follow! Check back later today...

Rapid Fire

New Orleans Hornets center Tyson Chandler looks to be out through the All-Star Break, so don't get your hopes up for an early return... Brandon Roy had a franchise-record 10 steals last night... LeBron James neared a triple-double with 31 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists... Brad Miller did too (14-13-9)... Caron Butler is getting back on track offensively as he put up 31 points last night. Unfortunately, he committed nine turnovers, too... Deron Williams lit up Cleveland for 16 assists Saturday night and is averaging 10.9 apg in January, up from 9.7 in all of 2008.
