According to Charles Gardner in the Journal-Sentinel, Yi Jianlian had an MRI on his shoulder on Monday and may not play against Memphis tonight.
Yi did, however, make the trip to Memphis with the team (which will then move on to Dallas for a game on Wednesday). But Michael Redd stayed home.
While I have been saying that Yi needs some rest, I sure hope it’s not due to anything that serious. Holding him out for one game and maybe bringing him off the bench for another might do him a lot of good.
Obviously, this does mean that Charlie Villanueva will finally get to play extended minutes. Since Yi has been playing so poorly for a couple of weeks losing him now shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Redd’s slow return, though, is throwing a wrench into my master plan of how the Bucks can make the playoffs. The Bucks need this win in Memphis.

Big win for us last night! We’re only a game and a half out of the final playoff spot. We need our players healthy to make our final run.
