Overview
- Khris Middleton, key player in the Milwaukee Bucks and three-time All-Star, will not be playing in the Sunday game against the Atlanta Hawks due to injury management strategies.
- Middleton recently underwent a clean-up procedure for his right knee during the offseason and is gradually increasing his game time, as per coach Adrian Griffin's plan.
- In the Bucks' season-opening game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Middleton was only on the floor for 16 minutes, scoring five points with three rebounds, four assists and two steals.
- Coach Griffin aims to increase Middleton's minutes as he recovers, and it is anticipated that he will participate in Monday's game against the Miami Heat.
- Last season, Middleton played only 33 games due to various injuries, missing out the first 20 games recovering from wrist surgery and another 18 due to his right knee pain.
