The Bucks are expected to sign Earl Barron to a 10-day contract on Tuesday.

Barron was also receiving interest from the Knicks, but the team instead decided to sign Jared Jeffries.

Brandon Jennings struggled in Milwaukee's loss to the Bulls on Saturday and did not play at all in the fourth quarter.

"It ain't like last year," said Jennings. "I'm not the go-to guy as I was last year. So I've just got to roll with the punches and when I get the ball, I guess I've got to do something with it. Because I know I probably won't get it back... Just in general, last year, I was more the go-to guy. Things were running kind of through me... So this year I just kind of have to wait. And if it comes back to me it comes back to me. If not, then, hey, it is what it is."

Jennings was asked who the offense is going through this season.

"Obviously it's not me, so I don't know. So I just wait for it. And see what happens."

Jennings is second in usage with a 24.9 rating behind Corey Maggette at 25.6.

Jennings has a 37.6 FG% on the season.

Michael Redd, who hasn't played in an NBA game since last January, is targeting a tentative return date of March 21, according to Bucks coach Scott Skiles.

Milwaukee is 4.5 games back of Indiana for the eighth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference heading into Sunday's action.

The Milwaukee Bucks have recalled rookie forward Larry Sanders from the Fort Wayne Mad Ants (Indiana) of the NBA Development League (D-League), General Manager John Hammond announced on Saturday.

In two games for the Mad Ants, Sanders averaged 10.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots in 27.5 minutes per contest. Sanders was initially assigned to Fort Wayne on February 20.

The Bucks are unlikely to buyout the contract of Michael Redd, who hasn't played since January 2010, according to a source.

Redd is returning from tears in both his ACL and MCL, and after a grueling rehab, returned to practice this week.

“No, no, no,” the source said. “It’s never been a discussion point.”

Redd is making $18.3 million this year, the fifth-largest salary in the NBA.

Michael Redd joined the Bucks in practice on Monday for the first time in 13 months.

He last played on Jan. 10, 2010 when he tore both the anterior cruciate ligament and the medial collateral ligament in his left knee against the Lakers.

"It feels great," Redd said. "It feels great. One of the happiest days of my career to come back and be a part of practice. To be on the court is a blessing, man. I kissed the court."

He has averaged 20.2 points per game in his 10-year career.

"You really start to treasure things when you can't do them anymore," Redd said. "I missed the last two years of my career due to injury. Not that I didn't appreciate it before, but I appreciate it even more because I did miss it."

He is being paid $18.3 million in the final year of a six-year, $91 million contract.

The Milwaukee Bucks have assigned rookie forward Larry Sanders to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants (Indiana) of the NBA Development League (D-League), General Manager John Hammond announced today.

“This is an opportunity for Larry to receive regular minutes and continue his skill development,” Hammond said. “We’re looking forward to seeing his progress as he works with Coach Meyer and his Fort Wayne teammates.”

Sanders, 22, was drafted by the Bucks with the 15th overall selection out of Virginia Commonwealth University in the 2010 NBA Draft.

Michael Redd is expected to rejoin the Bucks on Monday in his latest return from major knee surgery.

Redd last played 13 months ago when he tore both the ACL and MCL in his left knee in Los Angeles.

He hasn't been with the team this season, opting to rehabilitate in Columbus, Ohio.

Redd's first step will be to work out with team trainers to help determine a timetable on when he can return to practice.

Bucks forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute wants some protocol regarding concussions in the NBA.

Three years ago while at UCLA he was forced to miss eight days after a concussion. After suffering another one recently, all Milwaukee's staff asked for was his word that he was ready to play.

"I didn't have to do any tests because we were on the road and doctors were here,'' Mbah a Moute said. "They just asked me how I was feeling, and I told them I was feeling better. They were like, 'You're fine.' "

Mbah a Moute said he knocked heads with a Dallas defender on Jan. 1 and returned three days later, despite some soreness on his left side of his head.

"There should be standards in the NBA. You need to do these tests and pass these tests before you can come back on the court. Bottom line. We definitely don't get as bad concussions as football and other sports, but a concussion is a concussion,'' Mbah a Moute said. "It's a serious injury and there should be tests."

The Milwaukee Bucks have signed guard Garrett Temple (6-5, 180) to a second 10-day contract, General Manager John Hammond announced today. Temple was signed to his initial 10-day contract on January 25.

Temple has played in all six games since signing with the Bucks and has averaged 2.5 points and 1.0 rebound in 11.7 minutes. In his first game with the Bucks on January 26 against Atlanta, Temple had eight points, three rebounds and three assists in just over 18 minutes.
