Bucks All-Star Not Cleared For 5-vs-5 Action Just Before Start of Training Camp

Milwaukee could be without one of its most critical players heading into a possible make-or-break 2024-25 season.

Former All-Star Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton — who has struggled with various lower-body health issues for much of the last two seasons — continues to recuperate from offseason surgeries on both of his ankles.Sources tell NBA insider Chris Haynes that the 6-foot-7 swingman out of Texas A&M has yet to be permitted to suit up for five-on-five play with his comrades. Bucks training camp is slated to tip off on Oct. 1.

The Bucks also inked starting center Brook Lopez and Middleton to long-term extensions, a generous move considering both players' age and lengthy injury history.Last year's Bucks finished with a good-not-great 49-33 record in 2023-24, good for the third overall seed in the Eastern Conference.
