Khris Middleton is expected to return to the lineup of the Milwaukee Bucks if they reach the Eastern Conference Finals.
The All-Star forward has missed several playoff games with a left knee sprain. In addition, the reigning champions have already ruled him out for Game 6 vs the Boston Celtics.
However, as Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports, Khris Middleton has made progress and could return soon.
“There’s been some speculation about the possibility of him returning in this series. He’s listed out right now for Game 6. I’m told it’s unlikely he plays Game 6 even Game 7—not fully been ruled out, although that’s what it says on the injury report.
But I’m told he’s making very good progress. If the Bucks were to win this series, close out the Celtics, I think you could very much expect to see Khris Middleton back for the Bucks in the Conference Finals,” the NBA insider said on a recent episode of NBA Countdown, via Scott Polacek of Bleacher Report.
Milwaukee has the chance to close out the series with Boston on Friday at Fiserv Forum. If the Celtics win, though, they will force a Game 7 at TD Garden on Sunday.
