What happened to Khris Middleton?

During the game, against the Phoenix Suns on February 6th, Khris suffered an ankle injury that caused him to leave the match early.

The unfortunate event occurred when Khris Middleton was taking a shot from the wing and accidentally landed on Kevin Durants foot leading to him stumbling and clutching his ankle in pain.

Following this incident officials penalized Durant with a flagrant '1' foul for not giving space for Middleton to land safely. Despite managing to stand up and make his throws, Middleton couldn't return to the game after walking off the court by himself.

This season has been quite challenging for Middleton as he has missed a total of 23 games far. Since Doc Rivers took over coaching responsibilities, Middleton has only played in four games indicating how his recent injury has significantly impacted his time, on the court.
