Khris Middleton declines Milwaukee Bucks $40 million option for free agent
Posted : 22 June 2023
According to his agents Mike Lindeman and Jeff Schwartz, Khris Middleton, a three-time All-Star forward, has decided to decline his $40 million player option with the Milwaukee Bucks, making him a free agent.
Injuries have been a persistent issue for Middleton since the 2022 playoffs. He missed the last 10 playoff games that season due to a sprained MCL. During the following offseason, he underwent left wrist surgery, causing him to sit out the first 20 games of the 2022-23 season.
Although he returned to the court on December 2, 2022, Middleton's right knee soreness kept him out of action for 18 consecutive games.
After Milwaukee's first-round playoff elimination, he underwent successful surgery on his right knee to address the ongoing problem.
Despite the team's five-game loss to the Miami Heat, Middleton put up impressive numbers in that playoff series, averaging nearly 24 points and 6.2 assists.
Middleton has spent 10 seasons with the Bucks and has evolved from a role player to a key figure within the franchise.
Alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, he has become one of the faces of the team and earned three All-Star selections. His standout performances in the 2021 playoffs played a significant role in the Bucks winning their first NBA championship in half a century.
