Khris Middleton: 'I need to be playing'
That said, he agreed with Rivers’ feeling that he may have to gradually ramp up his minutes from a conditioning standpoint. The Bucks have only 19 regular-season games left, with the finale coming in Orlando on April 14. “I want to get back out there,” Middleton said. “I need to be playing. I’ve been on a minute restriction most of the year so at this point I just need to be on the court. So, I’m fighting every day that I can.”

After three quarters, the Warriors lead, 93-82.
Solid third quarter for the Bucks. They outscored the Warriors, 24-15, but felt like they left some on the table.
Another night where they felt Khris Middleton’s absence. Scored five points in final five minutes of the quarter. – 11:58 PM

Here is the latest from Doc Rivers on Khris Middleton.
Do you need to see Middleton in a practice before he gets into a game?

A tough one to figure. Clippers lose to Bucks by 7 in Milwaukee. Not all that shocking until you note Milwaukee played w/o 2 of its top 3 scorers: The Greek Freak and Kris Middleton. Re-match this weekend in LA. – 11:53 PM

Really liked that on ball creation from Cason Wallace he sold the Lob to Chet whips it in the corner instead puts Lakers defense a step behind Kenrich dribbles in for an open middy. Didn’t fall, still a great look generated by the rookie giving the defense a look they’re used to. – 11:13 PM

41 for @Dame_Lillard. Bucks have the NBA’s No. 1 defense during this six game winning streak. Khris Middleton close to a return. Here comes Milwaukee … – 10:29 PM

Since the coaching change the @Bucks offensive rating has dropped from 2nd (120.6) to 17th (115.0). However, it remains among the best in the halfcourt (8th) under Doc Rivers – despite having Khris Middleton on the floor for just 110 minutes – 5:06 PM

Higher Volume: Accounting for higher volume, he goes over multiple players. Kobe Bryant, for instance, was efficient in the clutch. But Damian Lillard and Dirk Nowitzki stood out for their clutch performances as well. Playoffs: In playoff settings, clutch performances become even more critical. Ray Allen and Khris Middleton were highlighted for their exceptional clutch shooting percentages in playoff moments. -via NBA Librarian / March 6, 2024
Anthony Slater: Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable against the Warriors tomorrow night. Missed the Bucks game last night with an Achilles issue. Khris Middleton is out. -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / March 5, 2024
Jim Owczarski: Khris Middleton did a little bit on the court today in #Bucks practice, but head coach Doc Rivers says the forward is likely doubtful to play tomorrow vs. the Clippers. -via Twitter @JimOwczarski / March 3, 2024
