Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers recently praised Khris Middleton for his professionalism, as the 33-year-old swingman has fully bought into his off-the-bench role.
“He’s started to get his rhythm – more importantly he’s starting to get his rhythm with that unit,” Rivers said about Middleton after their win over the Orlando Magic last Wednesday via Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“And they’re starting to get their rhythm with him. You can see the bonuses of it. he comes in, he gets the ball multiple times now so he can get a rhythm. It’s been really good,” he added.
Since his full relegation to the second unit last week, Middleton has averaged 12.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.2 steals per contest on 57.5 percent shooting from the field.

Khris Middleton also did well in the Milwaukee Bucks’ 130-112 win over the Toronto Raptors last Friday, as he posted 13 points, three rebounds, and five assists on 4-for-6 shooting from the field and a perfect 3-for-3 from the free throw line.
Because of his efficient play, the three-time NBA All-Star closed the game alongside co-star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“I mean, just staying on the path – trying to stay on the path at least – still have a long way to go like I’ve always been saying. Just gotta be on the court, be on the court and playing — that’s it,” Middleton said.
