Milwaukee’s buzzing, folks! Khris Middleton is finally making his way back to the court after a tough summer of double ankle surgeries. While he’s medically cleared, he’s still got some work to do before he’s game-ready. But hey, the pain’s gone, and that’s a win in itself.
Middleton’s Road to Recovery
So, what’s the latest on Khris? Word from the Bucks’ camp is that he’s been ramping up his training, even jumping into some 3-on-3 games recently. Sure, his absence stretched longer than expected, but the team’s optimistic we’ll see him at his peak soon. Coach Doc Rivers is singing his praises, saying, โHeโs looked good. Heโs working his butt off. Listen, I think heโs close.โ And if Doc’s excited, you know it’s serious!
Could we see Middleton back before Thanksgiving? That’s the million-dollar question. Check out Jim Owczarski’s take on Twitter:

Bucks’ Big Three: A Work in Progress
Now, let’s talk about Milwaukee’s star trio. Middleton, Giannis, and Dame have barely shared the floorโjust seven games together under Doc Rivers. Can you believe it? Middleton’s itching to join the party, especially after admitting, โI feel good, just not good enough to play thatโs all.โ With his track recordโthree-time All-Star, Olympic gold medalist, NBA champโyou know he’s hungry to get back out there.
In my opinion, once these three click, the league better watch out. It’s like waiting for a band to drop their next big hit.
Turning the Season Around
The Bucks had a rocky start this season, but they’ve clawed back to an 8-9 record. Giannis and Dame are leading the charge, shutting down critics with four straight wins. Giannis had a message for the haters: โI love my haters.โ Classic Giannis, right?
After a big win against the Hornets, Giannis opened up about the team’s rough patch. โWe donโt want to feel what we felt three, four weeks ago. It was miserable for everybody,โ he said. Meanwhile, Dame chimed in, reflecting on their journey, โThe way we started the season was rough… But weโre starting to play the type of basketball we wanted to play.โ
And here’s a little secret: the team’s group chat is buzzing with positivity and encouragement. They’re building chemistry, and it’s starting to show on the court.
So, what’s next for the Bucks? Will Middleton’s return be the spark they need to dominate the league? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sureโMilwaukee’s got some exciting hoops ahead. What do you think? Are the Bucks poised for a comeback, or is there more work to be done?
