When Is Khris Middleton Coming Back for Bucks?

Milwaukee Bucks All-Star forward Khris Middleton has missed the team's last six playoff games with a knee injury, and it doesn't seem like he is trending towards a return in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Boston Celtics.

Middleton has officially been ruled out for Games 4 and 5, but the Bucks do have a 2-1 series lead on the Celtics.

The Bucks are one-point favorites at WynnBET in Game 4 on Monday night, and our own Ben Heisler pointed out an interesting trend in this game in regards to betting the total in Bucks' games.

Khris Middleton Latest Injury Update

Khris Middleton reportedly could return in the series between the Celtics and Bucks after progressing nicely in his recovery.

Middleton suffered a left knee MCL sprain in Game 2 of the Bucks' first-round series against the Chicago Bulls. The initial timetable for Middleton's recovery was "at least two weeks" which would give him a chance to return in this series.

However, Wojnarowski later revealed that the team didn't expect the two-week benchmark to be when Middleton was back on the floor, which leads to the possibility of him missing the entire Eastern Conference semifinals.

The Bucks released a press release regarding Middleton's injury back on May 5, but it's the last injury update that we have received in his recovery.

"Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton continues to make steady progress on his left knee injury rehabilitation and additional updates will be provided as appropriate," the team said.

It appears that Middleton doesn't have a clear timetable to return, but the longer the series goes between the Bucks and Celtics, the better chance there is that Milwaukee will have its second-leading scorer back in the lineup.
