MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) – Milwaukee Bucks fans will need to wait a little longer to see the team at full strength as shooting guard Khris Middleton will officially miss Wednesday’s season opener in Philadelphia.
According to the Athletic Eric Nehm, Middleton was unable to participate during the team’s 5 vs. 5 scrimmages on Tuesday and will be inactive during tomorrow’s game as he continues to rehab from off-season surgery on both of his ankles.
Middleton will travel with the team to Philadelphia, and as of Tuesday, it remains unclear when he’ll make his season debut, but head coach Doc Rivers told The Athletic that if “this is a playoff game, he’d probably be playing or close to it.”
The 76ers will also be missing key players on Wednesday as All-Star center Joel Embiid (knee) and All-Star forward Paul George (knee) were ruled out by the team on Tuesday morning and will likely miss the first week of the season due to the injuries.
