Middleton will miss the team upcoming home games against the Portland Trailblazers, the Utah Jazz, and the Los Angeles Clippers. Besides those three games, the Bucks have an easy schedule for the upcoming weeks and should be able to get the wins without Middleton.
Earlier in the summer, the Bucks re-sign Middleton to a 5-year deal worth $178 Million, after making an All-Star Game for the first time in his career, to maintain a key player that contributed to the team success last season.
With the injury, the Bucks are losing their second-best scorer in Middleton with 18.5 points per game. He also averages 5.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists in 30.8 minutes per game while shooting 39.3% from the three-point line.
