We now know where Khris Middleton is playing next year.
According to multiple reports, Middleton is staying with the Milwaukee Bucks on a new three-year, $102 million deal. His contract reportedly includes a player option.
Middleton, who was tied to the Sacramento Kings as a potential free agent signing, played only 33 games last season because of injuries. When he did play, he didn’t look like the three-time All-Star.
