Khris Middleton reacts to recent losses
Although Middleton’s individual performance is something to be commended, the results were not ideal.
The team went 2-3 without having their two superstars together.
K-Midd is not bothered by the absence of Antetokounmpo and Lillard saying it is part of a long season.
“For me, it’s just life,” Middleton told Eric Nehm of The Athletic.
“That’s life. I mean, a lot of unfortunate things happen, obstacles, but you just gotta keep moving. One day at a time, one play at a time, one step at a time and control what you can control. I think, for the most part, our group has done that.”
Antetokounmpo is listed as questionable for the Pacers after a long rest due to a non-covid illness. AJ Green is listed as probable due to right calf strain.
