Bucks guard Michael Redd is hoping to return by next week.

He has been out since injuring the patella tendon in his left knee in Milwaukee's home opener against Detroit.

Redd says it's possible that he could return on either Monday or Wednesday.

"That's my goal, to get back out there and play," Redd said. "We'll have some practice time maybe Sunday or Tuesday."

The Bucks will continue to evaluate Redd on a daily basis.
