Khris Middleton to Miss Bucks' Season Opener Due to Ankle Rehab

The Milwaukee Bucks star is recovering from offseason surgeries and will not play in the opener against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Khris Middleton is expected to miss the Milwaukee Bucks' season opener as he continues to recover from surgeries on both ankles.
Middleton has been limited to 3-on-3 scrimmages in practice and has not yet been cleared for full 5-on-5 participation.
The injuries stem from a left ankle sprain in February and a right ankle injury during the playoffs, both requiring surgery.
Middleton has struggled with injuries over the past two seasons, appearing in only 88 regular-season games.
Taurean Prince has been filling in for Middleton during the preseason games where the Bucks ended with a 1-3 record.
