--F Joe Alexander is going through some growing pains in his rookie season. Alexander, the eighth overall selection in the June NBA draft, went 1-for-4 from the field against the Pistons Friday night. He has made just seven of his last 23 shots from the field.

--C Dan Gadzuric got his second straight start Friday night against the Pistons. Gadzuric played 25 minutes, scoring 10 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. However, Gadzuric shot only 3-of-12 from the floor. In his first start Wednesday night against the Hawks, Gadzuric had six points and three rebounds in 18 minutes.

--F Malik Allen has basically fallen out of the rotation. He had two DNP-CDs in the last three games before playing five minutes against the Pistons Friday night.

MEDICAL WATCH:

--G Michael Redd (high right ankle sprain) missed his 14th straight game Friday night against the Pistons. Redd didn't travel with the team on its four-game trip, having remained in Milwaukee for treatment. There is a possibility Redd may play Saturday night against the Cavaliers.

--G Luke Ridnour (sore right knee) made his second straight start Friday night against the Pistons. Ridnour got hurt in the first half of last Saturday night's game against the Bobcats and didn't play Monday night against the Magic.

--C Andrew Bogut (left knee contusion) didn't suit up against the Pistons and is expected to be sidelined for at least a week. Bogut got hurt in Monday night's game against the Magic while taking a charge against Magic C Dwight Howard.

--F Charlie Villanueva (left hamstring) re-aggravated his hamstring in the fourth quarter against the Pistons. His status for Saturday night's game against the Cavaliers isn't known.

--G Charlie Bell (ankle and knee) is still bothered by both injuries.
