Michael Redd of the Milwaukee Bucks will miss at least two weeks after experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired left knee.

Redd underwent surgery in March to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and he left Saturday night's game against Detroit during the third quarter because of discomfort in the knee. He underwent an MRI on the knee on Sunday.

The nine-year veteran scored only 26 points in Milwaukee's first two games, shooting a combined 8-of-25. Carlos Delfino and Charlie Bell are expected to see an increase in minutes during Redd's absence.

The 30-year-old Redd signed a maximum deal after the 2004-05 season, but has struggled staying healthy since, missing 90 games over the last four seasons, primarily related to his left knee.

He has a player option for $18.3 million in 2010-11.
