Dec 29, 2011, 18:14 GMT

Los Angeles - The Phoenix Suns, looking to add more offensive firepower, signed former All-Star guard Michael Redd on Thursday.

'Michael Redd has a proven pedigree as a first-rate NBA scorer,' said Suns' president of basketball operations Lon Babby. '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 All-Star selection in 2004, Redd joins the Suns with career averages of 20.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 44.9 per cent from the field in 11 NBA seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Due to injuries, Redd has played in just 61 games over the last three seasons after tearing the ACL and MCL in his left knee on two separate occasions in both 2008-09 and 2009-10. He returned to play the final 10 games of the 2010-11 season, averaging 4.4 points in 13.4 minutes with Milwaukee.
