Khris Middleton Stats

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) underwent successful surgery on Thursday. The 31-year-old underwent a minor arthroscopic procedure to address a lingering knee issue. He's expected to be fully recovered and back on the court by early July. Middleton only appeared in 33 games for the Bucks this past season. He could be a free agent this summer, assuming he decides to decline his $40 million player option. However, it seems unlikely that Middleton would decline that option considering he probably wouldn't get $40 million per year in free agency. Hopefully, Middleton will be fully healthy and bounce back next season.

According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo.com, many around the league expect forward Khris Middleton to remain in Milwaukee. The veteran has a $40 million player option but is searching for a new deal. While there are still doubts Middleton will be back, he sat in during meetings with prospective coaching candidates after the dismissal of Mike Budenholzer. The three-time All-Star had a down year in 2022-23, averaging 15.1 points, 4.9 assists, 4.2 steals, and shooting 31.5% from deep. He was also limited to 33 regular season games due a torn ligament in his left wrist. At any rate, Middleton is an excellent bounce-back candidate for fantasy managers, although he's likely to miss time because of injuries moving ahead.

The Milwaukee Bucks want to keep ahold of forward Khris Middleton and center Brook Lopez, with general manager Jon Horst rating both players very highly. "It's pretty clear, Khris and Brook are core to what we've done," Horst said to The Athletic. Middleton has a $40.4 million player option for next season, which he is expected to decline, while Lopez is an unrestricted free agent. The two helped the Bucks to the best record in the league this season, although Middleton was able to play in just 33 games due to health issues.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton was the team's leading scorer with an efficient 23 points in Saturday's Game 3 loss to Miami. Middleton played great, shooting 8-for-14 from the field and 3-for-5 from outside, but the Bucks ended up suffering a blowout defeat and will now be under huge pressure if they also drop Game 5. In 34 minutes of action, Middleton also posted five rebounds, six assists and two steals on Saturday. He will be expected to lead the charge again Monday if Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) can't return.
