Khris Middleton holds one of the keys to the Milwaukee Bucks’ 2024-25 season, as he has since they won their last title.
But the star forward hasn’t played more than 60 games since 2021-22, and now he’s missed the entire preseason after he underwent arthroscopic surgeries on both of his ankles in July.
He’s done a little scrimmaging but he’s had limited practices. So when will he be back while missing the season opener?
Here’s what Doc Rivers said via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: “No Khris today so probably no Khris (Wednesday). It’s pretty 100%. Ninety-nine (percent). I would say this week it became more expected (that he wouldn’t play). I thought before this week there was a pretty good chance he may make it. Because he’s moving great. But we just haven’t had enough live activity for him. There’s no setbacks. I would say if this was a playoff game he’d probably be playing. Or close to it.”
So maybe he’s close?
