Pacers show interest in Redd

The Indiana Pacers, still with money to spend under the salary cap, are showing interest in former Bucks guard Michael Redd.

League sources indicate the Pacers met with Redd on Thursday as they continued working to finalize their roster. Earlier this week the Pacers signed free agent forward David West to a two-year, $20 million deal.

Redd played 11 seasons with the Bucks, making him the longest-tenured player in franchise history. But he played in just 61 games during the past three seasons due to twice tearing the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee.

Redd first tore his ACL and MCL in a game against Sacramento at the Bradley Center on Jan. 24, 2009. He played in 18 games the following season before suffering another devastating knee injury on Jan. 10, 2010 when the Bucks played the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center.

The former Ohio State star missed nearly all of last season but returned in the final weeks and played in 10 games while averaging 4.4 points in 13.4 minutes. When he played on the final night of the regular season in the Bucks' overtime victory at Oklahoma City, Redd knew it would mark the end of his time with the Bucks.
