According to ESPN, the Bucks' Michael Redd will miss at least two weeks of action because of soreness in his left knee, the same knee he had ACL surgery on last season.

This is a huge blow for the Bucks as scoring is already tough to come by with the current roster.  Having your best scorer out certainly won't help matters.

Carlos Delfino and Charlie Bell are expected to pick up some of Redd's minutes.  Delfino was suspended for the season opener and only posted 5 points in Saturday's win over the Pistons.  He'll have to do better with Redd out. 

Bell really struggled during the preseason, but he showed last season that he can be a solid contributor when given the opportunity.  Well, here's your opportunity, Charlie.  Make the most of it.

The next couple weeks will be very telling for the team.  Hopefully, they can stay afloat with Redd out, but it won't be easy, that's for sure.
