As the Milwaukee Bucks embark on a pivotal 2024-25 campaign, they'll be missing one of their most important players. On Monday the news broke that All-Star Khris Middleton will miss the team's season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, and will generally miss the start of this NBA season. Last season, he averaged 15.1 points and 5.3 assists in 55 games.
ESPN's Shams Charania was first to report. Additionally, the insider noted the Bucks are "cautiously progressing" Middleton towards a return. The sharpshooter didn't appear during preseason and has not been cleared for 5-on-5 practice.
