Bucks' Khris Middleton to Miss Game Against Hawks Due to Injury Management Strategy

Khris Middleton's absence from the game against Hawks is part of Milwaukee Bucks' injury management following his recent knee surgery, with coach Adrian Griffin expecting Middleton to gradually increase his game time starting from Monday's match against the Miami Heat.

• 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.
