UPDATE (Mar. 30):
Khris Middleton should be good to go for Thursday’s matchup with the Boston Celtics.
UPDATE (Mar. 29):
On account of a right knee ailment, Middleton’s status for Wednesday’s game against the Pacers is in question.
The rumor mill has it that Middleton will miss either Wednesday’s game in Indiana or Thursday’s game against Boston since he still isn’t playing in back-to-back sets. Pat Connaughton and Joe Ingles (knee) may see expanded responsibilities once he takes a seat.

Khris Middleton missed Friday’s game while his sore right knee was managed, but he is expected to play Saturday.

Middleton was a late addition to the injury report, and he ultimately won’t play in the first leg of the Bucks‘ back-to-back.
