Khris Middleton is getting closer to a return to the courts. Before returning to the main deer herd, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s lieutenant at the Bucks will frolic in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd. A homecoming for him before showing up to make miseries in the Big League.
Khris Middleton in the Bucks jersey, this is an image that we have not seen for a while. It was precisely on April 20 in Game 2 of the first round of the Playoffs once morest Chicago. Since then, the 31-year-old back has his wrist in the glove box, always annoying for a basketball player. This summer, he underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament. Without him, the Bucks are doing pretty well with 12 wins for 4 losses, not enough to precipitate a return which will be smooth with a move to Ligue 2. Sacred pickaxe for the Wisconsin Herd which recovers Middleton and Wesley Matthews at the same time. A few weeks ago already, KM22 had carried out training with the Herd. Team 2 of Milwaukee has therefore just become favorite for its next match, logical when you get a triple All-Star, right?
The #Bucks are sending Khris Middleton and Wesley Matthews to the Wisconsin Herd as they continue to recover from injuries.

Giannis’ friend is therefore very close to a return, seven months following his injury. It’s very long and it will probably be necessary to leave him a few games to regain his rhythm and his mechanics quietly. It’s always good to remember that when the Charleston native is in good shape, he provides a daily intake that is around 20-5-5. But before coming to support the Greek Freak, Middleton will therefore go through the G League, which should remind him of some memories. Indeed, during his rookie season in Detroit, the 2021 NBA champion experienced the lower division under the colors of the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. Ten years later, he’s getting ready to go back there with Grandpa Wes who is recovering from a hamstring injury. Everything is gradually returning to normal for the Bucks, who have just picked up Pat Connaughton tonight, Middleton will be here soon… In short, everything is in place for a great Thanksgiving in Wisconsin.
