2 months agoMilwaukee Bucks head coach Adrian Griffin said forward Khris Middleton (knee) was unable to participate in Tuesday's training camp, but implied he was getting work in separately. The Bucks seem to be bringing the 32-year-old along slowly ahead of the regular season after Middleton underwent a minor surgery to repair a lingering knee issue early during this past offseason. Middleton faced strict limitations on the way back from 2022 summer wrist surgery, playing 33 games (19 starts) and averaging 24.3 minutes for 15.1 points, 4.9 assists, plus 1.5 three-pointers a year ago. But the three-time All-Star averaged 23.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.2 dimes, and 2.6 threes across five playoff games, and Middleton might be arriving at a bit of a discount while carrying a late-sixth-round ADP in 12-team Yahoo drafts. Still, fantasy managers will want to see him back at camp soon to quell any fear of early-season minutes restrictions.--Joseph Barbati - RotoBaller
