Khris Middleton was a significant factor in the Milwaukee Bucks championship run in 2021.

The team would add another veteran, Jae Crowder, to increase their chances of getting back on top of the mountain. This team is about to take on the Brooklyn Nets, hoping to bounce back from a Christmas Day loss against the New York Knicks.

The Bucks vs Nets game will take place on December 27 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The television broadcast of Yes Network and Bally Sports WI starts at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time. NBA League Pass has both feeds available for their online live-stream subscribers.

According to the recent injury list of the Milwaukee Bucks, Khris Middleton is free from any injury but they have Giannis Antetokounmpo marked as 'questionable' with his calf injury. Jae Crowder is still nursing his injured groin and is set to make a comeback to the roster by mid-January.

What happened to Khris Middleton and Jae Crowder?

Last season, Khris Middleton was able to only appear in 33 games due to a recurring knee injury. This season, he has missed five of the 30 matches of the Milwaukee Bucks due to injury management.

The Bucks medical staff are closely working with Middleton to preserve him for the playoffs which is why his status has been unpredictable, especially on back-to-back games.
