Doc Rivers reiterated on Wednesday that he thinks Khris Middleton is close to returning to the Milwaukee Bucks’ lineup.
“He’s working his butt off and doing all the stuff he’s supposed to do. He’s just yet to get on the floor. We feel like that’s coming soon, and you’ve heard that before. We’re just hopeful it’s really soon,” said Rivers.
Middleton is recovering from offseason surgery on both ankles.
Middleton participated in a 5-on-5 session on Wednesday.
Middleton has been cleared to play since late November.
