Redd ready if selected as all-star

[645]

Guard says he shouldn't be penalized for absences

Michael Redd was named to his first NBA All-Star Game in 2004.

But the Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard was bypassed for all-star honors in each of the past two years.

This year, however, he could be headed back to the 2007 all-star extravaganza Feb. 16-18 in Las Vegas.

A knee injury that has sidelined Redd for the last 11 games might hurt his chances, but he expects to be playing again next week and insists he will be fit and able to play in the All-Star Game, if selected.

So much for that...
