The Milwaukee Bucks received some concerning injury news ahead of their Wednesday night matchup against the Indiana Pacers. Khris Middleton was placed on the injury report, dealing with both knee and wrist injuries. Thankfully, he was able to play against the Pacers.
Unfortunately, the Bucks lost their second straight game against the Pacers.
After that loss, there has been a lot of concern surrounding the Bucks and their future. The national media has gone full panic mode. However, there is no reason to panic about a team with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard leading the way at this point in the season.
Milwaukee Bucks Receive Huge Khris Middleton Injury Update
On Thursday, the Bucks received some great news. Good news is a breath of fresh air amid the two rough losses to the Pacers and the negative media attention.

Keeping Middleton healthy is a must for the Bucks. He is exactly the kind of supporting piece that Milwaukee needs consistently alongside their superstar duo. Without him, their team as a whole takes a huge step back.
So far this season in 29 games, Middleton has averaged 14.7 points per game to go along with 4.8 assists, and 4.6 rebounds. He has shot 49.4 percent from the floor overall and has knocked down 38.3 percent of his three-point attempts.
Hopefully, this is the last that we’ll hear about Middleton on the injury report for the rest of the season. It’s good news, but the Bucks need to figure things out on the court now.
