Khris Middleton's Injury Status For Trail Blazers-Bucks Game
On Monday night, the Milwaukee Bucks are hosting the Portland Trail Blazers in Wisconsin.
However, they will remain without one of their top players for the game.
Khris Middleton is ruled out with the wrist injury that has kept him out of the first 15 games of the season.
Last season, Middleton made his third trip to the All-Star Game and averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per contest.
He helps make up a very talented big 3 with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday.

At home, they have been dominant, with an 8-1 record in nine games played in Wisconsin.
Currently, they have a 1.5-game lead over the Atlanta Hawks (for the second seed) and are 1.5 games behind the Boston Celtics (for the first seed).
