Veteran forward Khris Middleton of the Milwaukee Bucks reportedly had arthroscopic surgeries on his left and right ankles this offseason. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, coach Doc Rivers announced this week that the three-time all-star underwent surgeries this summer. Rivers was confident that Middleton would be fine by the start of training camp this fall.
“He was injured, you know, through the playoffs,” Rivers said. “And just played because, you know, no one else was playing. He played terrific. He had surgery in the summer, but he’ll be fine by the beginning of camp, which is good for us.”
Middleton injured his left ankle severely in February against the Phoenix Suns and missed 16 games at that time before coming back strong late in the season.
The 32-year-old Middleton was reportedly back on the court this summer and “doing great” according to a NBA source.
