Khris Middleton of the Milwaukee Bucks is getting closer to making his eagerly anticipated comeback to the court. In fact, going into Tuesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, the three-time All-Star was elevated to questionable for the first time since the All-Star break.
Regretfully, the eagerly anticipated return of Middleton will now have to wait a little longer.
Khris Middleton of the Milwaukee Bucks is downgraded to OUT against the Kings.
After Milwaukee’s morning shootaround, Middleton worked out, according to Bucks reporter Eric Nehm of The Athletic. Shortly after, though, the squad determined that the 32-year-old would not be playing on Tuesday night. Middleton is now officially out of the Bucks’ lineup for the Kings game.
Even while this is a regrettable development, it isn’t too surprising. However, it does indicate that Middleton might not be as close to making a comeback as everyone had thought.
Although Middleton’s ankle ailment is still unknown, head coach Doc Rivers should provide us with an update shortly.
The Bucks’ next opportunity to play will come on Thursday when they visit the Philadelphia 76ers back in Milwaukee. It will be intriguing to see Middleton’s injury status for that match. At the absolute least, we anticipate that he will be rated as questionable to play, as anything less would be a setback in his recuperation process.
