The Milwaukee Bucks have been making a strong comeback to reach a .500 record after a slow start, but fans have been eagerly awaiting news on Khris Middleton’s status. According to a report by ESPN’s Shams Charania, Middleton has successfully completed a five-on-five scrimmage as part of his journey back to the court.
Prior to this milestone, Middleton had been participating in drills and three-on-three scrimmages as he worked his way back to full practice with the team. While Charania’s report mentioned the team is hopeful for Middleton to make his debut post-Thanksgiving, there is still no confirmed return date. The Bucks have been taking a patient approach, allowing Middleton to decide when he feels ready to play.
Although there is no set return date, Middleton’s progress is a positive step forward for the team. His ability to balance both offense and defense has been sorely missed, and his return will greatly benefit the Bucks. As the team continues to take advantage of a lighter schedule to recover from their initial 2-8 start, having Middleton back in the rotation could help them hit their stride.
While there is speculation that Middleton may make his season debut in the upcoming home game against the Washington Wizards, nothing is set in stone until an official announcement is made by the team. We will be keeping a close eye on any updates regarding Middleton’s recovery and wish him all the best in his journey back to the court.
