The Bucks started training camp on Tuesday, allowing the group to get a first glimpse of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee’s newest star Damian Lillard in practice.
However, while much of the attention has been on the Bucks’ new duo, Milwaukee’s third star Khris Middleton has yet to fully participate in camp. Middleton, who was limited to 33 games in the 2022–23 season due to injuries, underwent a surgical procedure on his right knee in June to remove the pain he experienced last season.
When Bucks coach Adrian Griffin was asked about Middleton’s status, he maintained that the three-time All-Star was considered “day-to-day,” while also stating that Middleton was “progressing beautifully,” despite not practicing live on the court currently.
