How worried should Bucks fans be about Khris Middleton’s ankle surgery?
Justin and Camille discuss the bombshell from Summer League, Khris Middleton getting surgery on both ankles. How big of a deal is this? If Khris misses time this season, who becomes most important in his absence? What does this mean for next offseason? We get into it all on Locked on Bucks

my comments are sincere but also motivational😉 Kris is more polarizing than Trump
Target Rui Hacimura. Offer Chris for Rui and a first round pick. It gets you under the cap and gives you future trade capital. Then move Par for cash considerations to get under the first apron.
thing is we dont need middleton during the reg season, ok so how should we handle this, give the young athletic guys who can play real minutes and chances! will the bucks do this? no, thats why the bucks suck
If you are still hating on Khris after the Pacers series, you are not welcome to the deer district when we make a run🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Khris Middleton is good.
Keep him out for 40 games and look for a solid person that can fill his spot. That’s the best option. Don’t try trading him just to get someone that ya’ll will regret having in the starting line up for playoffs. Start getting rid of some draft picks.

Im optimistic. Call up Grantt Hill and consult those PHX trainers/medical team that helped him to get right though.
Not worried at all. Minor surgery to clean things up. Don't blow this up, beyond what this is. If he's literally walking fine just now, there isn't a reason to be worried. If anything it's good to hear this happened considering how hard he had to fight in the playoffs while, visibly, not fully healthy. That's literally the point of surgeries. It's to, you know, get healthy and improve mobility and function. We don't have to treat them like they are somehow the disease. It's the cure.
Khris is essential to the team and a Bucks hero. Has consistently played for the team while performing like a true all star, and has almost always been there for the Bucks whenever they've needed him most. EVERYONE who is a Bucks fan, should appreciate and adore him for how he's performed for the team, and how he's never created drama within it. Anyone who wants him traded doesn't deserve to be a fan, and even more apparent, isn't smart considering how consistently good he's been in the post season.
I would die for Khris Middleton
after all that slow recovery thing, and kris being such a key player… if the guy don't have a fully healthy season in his back.. like he doesn't misses training camp, or starts 15 games latter and no back to backs… that's very bad and very concerning news for the bucks season. as i see things. for those older guys with such usage, the reg. season is kind of how big your battery gonna be for when the real games begin (yea, he was good with the pacers, but for how long could he be like that 100%, before he falls? you see younger guys getting tired as postseason goes on). plus, for a guy, not really healthy and strong for 2 years now, it's a very much needed psychology boost (what if, doesn't work on athletes.. they have to feel it). and then, the best exercise (+training camp) for this guys is playing real b.ball, full contact and all, that's what gonna prevent a new injurie and get them (and the team) ready. yea, you maybe play him a little less in the beginning or i don't know what, but i don't believe in minutes restriction, precautions and…whatever, they don't work in the long run or it means the player is still injured, not ready.. and if lucky, maybe.. a player not playing for whatever reason, is not good news, however we put it. so, in kris case (cause i really like the guy, esp for the bucks), i will be very glad see him going strong from the beginning.
Its hard out here for a Khash Money fan but….. WE OUTCHEA! GET WELL SOON MY BOY
