Probable for Sunday
Middleton (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis
Middleton made his 2024-25 season debut Friday night against the Celtics, so his appearance on the injury report appears to be more of a formality. He logged 23 minutes Friday and could shoulder a similar workload Sunday.

Scores 11 points in return
Middleton (ankles) tallied 11 points (2-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block over 23 minutes off the bench in Friday's 111-105 loss to the Celtics.
Analysis
After missing the first 21 games of the season while recovering from bilateral ankle surgery, Middleton made his 2024-25 debut Friday. He got off on the right foot with a four-point play midway through the first quarter and connected on a 15-foot jumper a couple of minutes later, but those were the only two shots from the field he would make for the entirety of the game. While Middleton should eventually work his way back into the starting five, he'll likely come off the bench for at least a few more games while he operates on a minutes restriction.

Ready to make debut Friday
Coach Doc Rivers said that Middleton (ankles) will play in Friday's matchup against Boston, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Middleton will suit up for the first time during the 2024-25 campaign following a lengthy recovery process from bilateral ankle surgeries. The veteran forward should provide a much-needed spark to the rotation, though he'll likely start his return operating under a minutes restriction as the club works him back to playing form. Middleton averaged 15.1 points, 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds across 27.0 minutes per game in 55 regular-season appearances during the 2023-24 campaign.

Set to make season debut Friday
Middleton (ankle) is probable for Friday's game versus the Celtics, Bobby Marks of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Middleton is expected to make his season debut Friday after missing the first 21 games of the 2024-25 campaign while recovering from bilateral ankle surgeries. Although the 33-year-old forward will be a welcome return to Milwaukee's rotation, he will likely operate on a minutes restriction as he works his way back into game shape. Last season, Middleton averaged 15.1 points, 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 27.0 minutes across 55 appearances.

Ruled out for Wednesday
Middleton (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Hawks.
Analysis
Middleton's season debut continues to be delayed. He was recently cleared for 5-on-5 scrimmaging, but the Bucks haven't confirmed a target date for his return yet. His next chance to play will be Friday against Boston.

Won't play Tuesday
Middleton (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis
As expected, Middleton will remain sidelined Tuesday despite participating in 5-on-5 scrimmages during Monday's practice. Tuesday is the first half of a back-to-back set, so it's possible Middleton could suit up Wednesday versus Atlanta. However, even when the veteran is cleared to play, he'll likely face heavy restrictions.
December 2, 2024
Doubtful for Tuesday
Middleton (ankles) is unlikely to play in Tuesday's game versus Detroit, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Bucks coach Doc Rivers did say that Middleton participated in some 5-on-5 scrimmaging at Monday's practice, but it sounds like the team is content with ramping up the veteran slowly. The Bucks do play again Wednesday at home versus Atlanta, but it remains to be seen what the franchise has planned for the sharpshooter.
