"The Suns made it official today, signing former All-Star guard Michael Redd.

"Michael Redd has a proven pedigree as a first-rate NBA scorer," Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby said in a team statement. "He will work with our renowned training staff to get into basketball shape. When he is ready to play, Michael will be a welcome addition to our team."

An 11-year NBA veteran, Redd averaged 20 or more points in six consecutive seasons from 2003-09.

A 6-6, 220-pound guard, he was the 43rd overall pick (second round) of the 2000 draft by the Milwaukee Bucks, with whom he spent all 11 of his professional seasons.

Redd is a career 44.9-percent shooter overall, including 38.3 percent from three-point range, and owns 1,003 career threes, one of just nine players in NBA history to make 1,000 three-pointers with a single team.

Redd likely will not play immediately as he learns the Suns' system and works into playing shape.

Redd worked out for the Suns on Tuesday along with free agent NBA veteran Ime Udoka and free agent Gilbert Brown. The Suns also had Redd's left knee examined because he has played only 61 games over the past three seasons due to two surgeries."
