We all know that the Milwaukee Bucks are one of the best teams in the NBA.
There is a reason why the team is currently the 2nd team in the East with a 14-5 record, behind only the Boston Celtics and their 17-4.
Obviously, the team has Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the way.
But they have been patiently waiting for the return of another major star: Khris Middleton.

Middleton has yet to play a game this season and the Bucks have been dying to see him suit up again.
They might get their wish soon.
It is being reported that Middleton is nearing his season debut and it may be “as soon as” this Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
If Middleton really does come back this week, how will he help the Bucks, who are already one of the greatest squads around?
Middleton’s Moment To Shine
Last season, Middleton was good for 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists.
He was easily considered the second-best player on the team but being second-best to Antetokounmpo is a very high honor.
Those two have created a wonderful relationship and play like magic together.
They read each other well, take pressure off one another, and are able to produce a lot of points and great plays as a unit.
Antetokounmpo has made no secret of how much he misses Middleton.
With Middleton back, the team will be fully functional and the roster will be complete for the first time all season.
Injuries are nothing new to Middleton and the hope is that this will be the last time he misses a considerable amount of time.
Nothing would be worse than getting Middleton back and then losing him again soon because of another injury.
