On the flip side, Bucks starting point guard Luke Ridnour has spent his five previous pro seasons playing for the Seattle SuperSonics, who relocated to Oklahoma this summer.
--The Bucks, who have constantly been on the road much of the preseason and regular season, will play three of their next four games at home.
Besides Saturday night against Toronto, they'll play Washington on Wednesday and Phoenix on Saturday at the Bradley Center.
--Bucks rookie forward Joe Alexander and veteran center Francisco Elson are the only Bucks who haven't seen action this season.
--NBA commissioner David Stern attended the game and addressed the crowd before the game.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "We'll see how it pans out, but Richard Jefferson takes a lot of pressure off a lot of us. I'm looking forward to some games where Michael Redd has 10, 11 points and the Bucks still win. I would love to have that dream scenario." -- Bucks star guard Michael Redd, on Richard Jefferson alleviating the offensive load that has been on his shoulders the last several seasons.
