Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton wasn't able to complete Sunday's game against Houston because of a left ankle sprain. He played for only six minutes and failed to register any stats. This was only his fifth game since making his season debut, so it's a very unfortunate blow for Middleton if he's forced to miss any time again. The team hasn't yet provided an update on his status. With Middleton on the shelf following wrist surgery, the Bucks rolled with Jevon Carter as a starter to open the season and he will be a strong candidate to replace him again. The 27-year-old has averaged 9.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 27.5 minutes as a starter this season.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (conditioning) will suit up for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He made his season debut on Friday, but sat out on Saturday as a precaution. The Bucks feel confident enough to let Middleton suit up for this game after resting on Saturday. His return will move Jordan Nwora to the bench where he won't have much streaming appeal. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should make sure Middleton is in their lineups for Monday's slate.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (wrist) is on track to make his season debut on Friday versus the Lakers. He's been recovering from offseason wrist surgery, and it's been a long road back, with Middleton having got the procedure done back in July. Middleton's return is bad news for Jevon Carter, who has been starting in his place. However, the 27-year-old could still carry some fantasy value, as he's played well so far and should maintain a decent role on the team. Middleton might not be at his best right away, but it shouldn't take long for the three-time All-Star to prove his worth to fantasy managers.

The Milwaukee Bucks still have no debut date for power forward Khris Middleton (wrist). With the Bucks sitting second in the league, perhaps rushing Middleton back is unnecessary. Still, the Bucks offense has suffered without Giannis Antetokounmpo's running mate. Middleton's return adds another wrinkle to the Bucks offense. Ranked 18th in offensive rating, Milwaukee has championship potential, but the offense must improve. According to head coach Mike Budenholzer, Middleton's return is "close." Fantasy managers should hold onto Middleton, as dumping him would be costly.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (wrist) is taking another step in his rehab and getting back to practice. For now, he's going to practice with the Wisconsin Herd, the Bucks' G League affiliate. We're still at least a couple of weeks away from seeing Middleton suit up, but this is promising news for any fantasy managers that have him occupying an IR spot. When he returns, he's sure to be a top-50 fantasy player, but maybe taking a few more rest days so the team can protect him until the playoffs.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (wrist) is now expected to miss the first few weeks of the season. He's still rehabbing from his offseason wrist surgery. The Bucks missed his production dearly last postseason. In 66 games last year, he averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game on 44.3% from the floor and 37.3% from deep. This news isn't too shocking, as he was expected to miss at least the first week. Fantasy managers should hang on to Middleton until he comes back, because he's going to give a lot of value once he returns to his second-option role alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (wrist) won't be available at the beginning of the regular season. The veteran missed the final 10 games of the postseason because of a left knee injury while also having surgery in July to repair a torn ligament in his wrist. Middleton averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists while shooting 37.3% from behind the arc. With that said, Milwaukee certainly wasn't the same without Middleton, so the team hopes to get him back as soon as possible, although preserving him for a deep playoff run will be a priority. Nonetheless, Pat Connaughton is the favorite to fill the void in the starting lineup until Middleton or Joe Ingles (knee) are ready to roll.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (wrist) underwent surgery in early July to repair a torn ligament. The recent update surrounding the veteran comes after he missed the final 10 games of the postseason because of a left knee injury. The Bucks will undoubtedly need him healthy and on the floor, especially after averaging 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists throughout 66 appearances last season. Nonetheless, despite the ailments, the 30-year-old is expected to be good to go for the start of the regular season in October. When available, Middleton is one of the most potent all-around fantasy options going. However, he's played an entire season just twice throughout his 10-year career, so fantasy managers should anticipate being without him for at least a few contests during the 2022-23 campaign.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) is listed as out for Sunday's Game 7 against the Boston Celtics. This shouldn't come as a shock since Middleton is still recovering from an MCL sprain. The Bucks still haven't given a timetable for Middleton, so he could very well miss more games, assuming the Bucks advance. Wesley Matthews, Grayson Allen, and Pat Connaughton have seen more playing time with Middleton out. Connaughton is the best DFS option out of the three of them. Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo will be asked to carry the load on offense for Sunday's contest.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) doesn't appear to have made much progress on the court. Head coach Mike Budenholzer says Middleton is making progress, but they don't have a timetable for his return. That being said, fantasy managers should expect Middleton to miss the remainder of this series against the Boston Celtics. Jrue Holiday dropped 24 points during their Game 5 victory. Holiday should continue to take more shots with Middleton sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) won't play on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics. There were rumblings that he could have been back for Game 5. Yet, that's not happening, although the 30-year-old is moving in the right direction regarding his recovery from a sprained left MCL. Nonetheless, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 32 points, 13 boards, eight assists, and one block during the series, should be an automatic lock for DFS managers while Middleton is away. Jrue Holiday may also continue to get additional opportunities on the offensive end. However, he'll need to get some of his shots to fall to maximize his value

Milwaukee Bucks forward Kris Middleton (knee) is out for at least two more games. The veteran hasn't played since suffering a sprained MCL in his left knee during the first-round series versus the Chicago Bulls. Fortunately, he is making progress, and even better, head coach Mike Budenholzer didn't dismiss the possibility of a potential Game 5 return. Nonetheless, while Middleton remains out of the equation, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday should continue to get after it even more on the offensive end. There's also room for guys like Bobby Portis, Pat Connaughton, and Grayson Allen to get involved. However, none of those three are consistent producers for DFS managers, although they can get hot from time to time.

The Milwaukee Bucks shared an update on injured forward Khris Middleton (knee) on Thursday. The team stated that Middleton has continued to make steady progress in his rehabilitation and that additional updates will be "provided as appropriate." Translation: it will still be at least a little while before we see him back on the court again. The 30-year-old was diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain and he is expected to miss the entirety of the team's current series against the Boston Celtics. Whether or not he could return in the Eastern Conference Finals if the team advances is still unclear.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) won't play during the series opener against Boston. This one isn't a surprise, as the veteran is expected to miss the entire second round after sustaining a Grade 2 left MCL sprain during the series versus the Chicago Bulls. Nonetheless, stranger things have happened, and players have returned sooner, especially during the playoffs. However, until Middleton is back in the mix, Bobby Portis, Grayson Allen, Pat Connaughton, and Wesley Matthews, in that order, may benefit. Of course, it will likely be Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday doing most of the work on the offensive end while Middleton is sidelined.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) is expected to miss the entire second round of the postseason against the Boston Celtics. He suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain during the first round series versus Chicago. At this point, it's uncertain if Middleton will be able to return this postseason at all. This is a tough blow to the Bucks, but luckily they do have some depth. Grayson Allen and Pat Connaughton will be asked to step up and play extra minutes. Also, Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo will be tasked with a majority of the ball handling.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) is out indefinitely. The veteran sustained a sprained left MCL during the Game 2 postseason loss to Chicago and is anticipated to miss at least Games 3 and 4. However, he is considered out indefinitely, so there's a real chance he'll be sidelined even longer. Nonetheless, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday are expected to pick up the slack on offense until Middleton returns, while Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis, Grayson Allen, and Pat Connaughton may also benefit on the scoring end.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) could be in danger of missing part of their playoff series with Chicago. He suffered a sprained MCL to his left knee, but was able to play most of Wednesday's contest. Middleton finished with 18 points, five rebounds, eight assists in 33 minutes. Pat Connaughton and Grayson Allen would be asked to take on bigger roles, assuming Middleton misses time. The series is tied up 1-1 as the Bucks head to Chicago for Game 3. Fantasy managers will have to be patient and wait for the MRI results.

Milwaukee Bucks power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and small forward Khris Middleton (wrist) have been deemed doubtful to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale vs. Cleveland. Milwaukee appears to be prioritizing health for the postseason, with Antetokounmpo and Middleton's likely absences paving the way for Pat Connaughton, Wesley Matthews, and others to see elevated offensive roles. With Bobby Portis (shoulder) and Brook Lopez (back) both also doubtful, the Bucks are likely to have an entirely new look. The All-Star duo should be considered a full-go for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs next week, irrespective of who it comes against.

The Milwaukee Bucks captured an overtime victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday and the team is rewarding its four primary players with a day off on Friday. Khris Middleton (wrist), Jrue Holiday (ankle) and Brook Lopez (conditioning) have been ruled out for the game, as has star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). The Bucks will lean heavily on the likes of Bobby Portis, Wesley Matthews, Grayson Allen and Pat Connaughton for Friday's game as the team faces a Los Angeles Clippers team that will also be without several regulars. All four of the above-mentioned players are worth starting in fantasy with Portis and Allen being the most enticing members of the group.

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Khris Middleton (wrist) has been bumped up to probable for Saturday's contest vs. Memphis after he missed two outings due to a sore left wrist. Middleton will be in line for elevated offensive duties with Jrue Holiday (ankle) down and Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) listed as questionable. Middleton has been scorching hot offensively during March, averaging 25.3 PPG, while shooting 49.2% from behind the arc; if it stands, it would be the highest scoring month of Middleton's career. In his most recent matchup with the Grizzlies on Jan. 19, Middleton compiled 27 points, seven assists, and seven rebounds.
