It appears as though Jerry Stackhouse will be back in the NBA this season, although a little sooner and in a different situation than most people probably expected.
ESPN's Marc Stein is reporting that the Milwaukee Bucks are set to sign Stackhouse for the remainder of the season. The deal is scheduled to be completed on Monday, or possibly Tuesday due to the Martin Luther King holiday.
So, why the Bucks? Stein reports that they began looking at Stackhouse once Michael Redd was lost for the season with a knee injury. But we'll have to wait and see exactly which version of Stackhouse that Milwaukee has signed up for.
Stackhouse had recently been known as a somewhat reliable scorer off the bench for the Mavericks, having averaged between 10.7 and 13 points per game for them in the 2005-08 seasons. But last year, injuries limited him to just 10 games, and a scoring average in those appearances of just 4.2 per contest.
Stackhouse impressed in offseason workouts, and many expected a playoff team looking for a boost to add him at some point late in the season. If the playoffs started today, the Bucks would be on the outside looking in -- at 16-22, they're currently two games behind the Bulls for the eighth and final spot in the East. But by making this move, they obviously feel like they have enough talent to contend. And if Stackhouse has anything at all left in the tank, he might be just enough of an infusion to get the team over the hump and into the postseason.
(Or, if nothing else, Stackhouse can make our last memory of him on the basketball court something other than his being posterzed by John Wall this past summer.)
