Is Khris Middleton playing tonight?

According to a tweet by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the forward has announced his intention to make his return in the upcoming game against the Phoenix Suns.

Middleton sustained an injury, rather ironically, in their first game against the Suns back on Feb. 6, following a collision with Kevin Durant.

Khris Middleton attempted a 3-pointer from the wing, but Kevin Durant encroached his landing space, resulting in the former rolling his ankle. Despite making his free throws, Middleton subsequently removed himself from the game. Shortly after, the team announced that he would not return to play.

Their third offensive weapon is anticipated to make his return to the lineup approximately 40 days after missing 16 games.
