MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks will begin training camp for the 2024-25 season with three-time All-Star forward Khris Middleton still at least partially out of action as he continues to recover from successful arthroscopic procedures to fix lingering issues in both of his ankles this offseason.

Milwaukee has one of the league's best trios in all of basketball, and a key part in that is Khris Middleton's ability to fit in as the perfect third-wheel.

Khris Middleton, who had offseason surgery on both ankles, is not fully cleared for 5-on-5 action as the Bucks open training camp this week, reports Chris Haynes. Sources: Milwaukee Bucks star Khris Middleton (procedures on both ankles) has not been cleared for five-on-five action with training camp commencing Oct.

Milwaukee could be without one of its most critical players heading into a possible make-or-break 2024-25 season.

In a report from NBA insider Chris Haynes, forward Khris Middleton has still not been given the ok to partake in five-on-five action heading into the start of training camp on October 1. It’s all part of an effort by Milwaukee to take the cautious approach and to avoid any complications with either one of his ankles.
