[Saba Sports News] As the playoffs approach, the Milwaukee Bucks are set to receive a substantial boost. Khris Middleton, the team’s forward, announced his upcoming return to the lineup for Sunday’s matchup with the Phoenix Suns, having been sidelined since February 6 due to an ankle injury.
Known for his pivotal defensive role, Middleton’s comeback is timely for the Bucks, who have faced defensive challenges throughout the season. Despite his absence, during which the team maintained a six-game winning streak, Middleton’s return is poised to address both the defensive lapses and the recent concerns over the team’s effort level, reinforcing their preparation for the postseason. He has contributed an average of 14.8 points over 43 games this season.
