“On the fifth day of Bucksmas, Milwaukee sent to me…five months no Khash, four more years of Plumlee, three second rounders, two cornerstones, and a Greek Freak at the 15th.”

Losing Khris Middleton to a hamstring injury for around five months was an absolute crusher for the Milwaukee Bucks prior to the season. As arguably the best Buck from the previous season, Khash was anticipated to be a major on and off-court leader for the team as well as providing some much needed three-point shooting.

Newcomers Tony Snell, Matthew Dellavedova, and Malcolm Brogdon have done their best to make up for absence, but the team is definitely better with Middleton in the lineup.

Even with Giannis Antetokounmpo growing into his role as a superstar in the league, adding another perimeter threat both on offense and defense would have made things even easier for the rising star. The hope is that Middleton is able to return prior to the end of this season and maybe help the Bucks compete to make the playoffs and make a splash once they arrive.

Khris is part of the core three players the Bucks are building around (along with the cornerstones mentioned earlier) and bringing him back will be a huge addition for the Bucks.
