It's been more than a month since Khris Middleton is in the Bucks infirmary due to a sprained ankle.
Regularly questioned about the state of health of the 32-year-old full-back/winger, who was therefore only able to lead three short matches (and a few minutes), Doc Rivers could only explain that the latter was getting closer to 'a return.
A return which should finally take place tomorrow! “I hope nothing happens, knock on wood”, explained Khris Middletonafter training on Saturday. “But I expect to play tomorrow (against the Suns). »
Good news for Giannis Antetokounmpo and his gang, even if Khris Middleton is having a complicated season.
Slowed down by various physical problems last season (wrist, knee, ankle, etc.), the three-time All-Star (2019, 2020 and 2022) mainly underwent an arthroscopy on his right knee last June, which forced him to start the season in slow motion, the Bucks being very careful, in order to allow it to gain momentum as the season progresses.
Which he didn't really succeed in doing, while he also had to adapt to a reduced role following the arrival of Damian Lillard.
