Khris Middleton Sidelined Due to Mouth Injury in Game Against Knicks
The Milwaukee Bucks forward left the court after a series of unfortunate collisions, marking a setback on the same night Giannis Antetokounmpo returned.
- Khris Middleton sustained a mouth injury after being hit in the face by Knicks' Donte DiVincenzo, followed by Isaiah Hartenstein landing on him.
- Middleton was helped off the court and did not return to the game, with the Bucks citing 'mouth trauma' as the reason.
- The incident occurred as Giannis Antetokounmpo made his comeback after missing a game due to a hamstring issue.
- This was only the fourth time in the last 29 games that the Bucks' top players, including Antetokounmpo, Middleton, and Damian Lillard, were all available.
- Middleton has missed 16 games earlier in the season due to a severely sprained right ankle.
