Milwaukee Bucks Khris Middleton Ruled Out For Monday’s Contest Against the Toronto Raptors

On Monday, Chris Haynes reported that Bucks forward Khris Middleton has been ruled out for Monday’s contest against the Toronto Raptors because of tendinitis in his ankle. Middleton missing games during the 2024-2025 NBA season is nothing new for him or the Bucks.

Middleton has only played in 12 games this NBA season. He recently played on Saturday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland won that game over Milwaukee 105-102. Middleton only scored two points in that game and also grabbed seven rebounds and recorded three assists.

This NBA season, Middleton is averaging 12.7 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 5.0 APG, and shooting 44.7% from the field. The Bucks have yet to find a consistent third option this season for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

Some fans also think that Middleton could be getting traded. The only thing is which NBA team would even want him? The Bucks are stuck with Middleton until his contract runs out or decides to retire from the league beforehand. They should have traded him last offseason and didn’t decide to do it.
