Khris Middleton‘s present and future in the NBA looks really bad. If the Milwaukee Bucks‘ 2021 ring was decisive, from 2022 the situation began to go wrong to the point of having only played 88 games over the last two seasons and, more worryingly, to date not even an operation on both ankles during the summer It served so that in the present he is close to playing.
Although for a long time It was known that he would not be present at the beginning of the 2024-25 academic year. Likewise, it was thought that it would be a matter of time before he took on the physical tone necessary to enter into the plans of Doc Rivers . Well, according to Shams Charania by ESPN That moment is still a long way off.
The aforementioned journalist explains that in the Wisconsin franchise it is now clear that the attacker’s period of absence will last much longer than expected, given that at this moment he will not be able to run without discomfort nor, obviously, carry out full training sessions. .
That it’s gotten to this point where Middleton’s recovery simply isn’t progressing is a consequence of what he’s experienced in recent years, and we’re talking about the third summer in a row in which he has to undergo surgery. In 2022 the reason was the fracture of a wrist ligament, while in 2023 he underwent surgery for a knee problem.
Without his participation, and without him being the main cause, the Bucks have completely sunk in the standings. With a draw of 1-6 they occupy the last position in the Eastern Conference and therefore are having a year in which the only goal is to be an enormously complicated playoff team. In short: Milwaukee must improve a lot so that the nightmare does not continue.
