Free-agent guard Michael Redd will remain with the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Bucks announced Monday night that they had matched the four-year, $12 million offer sheet that the Dallas Mavericks had presented to the third-year guard Oct. 1.
Since Redd was a restricted free agent, the Bucks had the right to match the offer sheet and keep Redd. Had the Bucks not matched the offer sheet, Redd would have gone to Dallas and the Bucks would have received no compensation. The Bucks had until Wednesday to make a decision.
