Matt Velazquez: Bucks with a 113-92 win over the Spurs in their first bubble scrimmage. Giannis 22 pts on 9/13 shooting in 21 mins, Brook Lopez 17 pts on 6/7 and Khris Middleton 16 pts including a strong second half.
Fred Katz: Some All-NBA ballot info: LeBron James is eligible at both guard and forward — as are Ben Simmons, Jayson Tatum, Khris Middleton, Jimmy Butler and Luka Doncic. Anthony Davis, Karl-Anthony Towns, Nikola Jokic and Bam Adebayo are eligible at both forward and center.
Matt Velazquez: Kyle Korver said a lot of his teammates have looked great coming back but if he was going to single out one person he mentioned Khris Middleton has looked really great and explosive in Orlando. The way he’s changing directions/moving has impressed Korver a lot.
Matt Velazquez: Khris Middleton said today that he took advantage of the hiatus by losing some weight and dedicating himself to the weight room. Kyle Korver mentioned that he’s been most impressed by Khris’ movement while Coach Bud added, “he’s in a very good place.”
Eric Woodyard: Bucks’ Khris Middleton says he selected “Black Lives Matter” for the back of his jersey. Says he feels it’s the “most important” message right now.
The radiothon aired on 94.5 ESPN Milwaukee and 100.5 ESPN Madison from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday. Connaughton was joined on-air by Bucks teammates Donte DiVincenzo, Kyle Korver, Khris Middleton and Antetokounmpo, Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry, general manager Jon Horst and head coach Mike Budenholzer, along with numerous other guests from across the sports world including Aaron Rodgers, Matt LaFleur, Craig Counsell, Greg Gard, Josh Hader and Yelich.
Milwaukee Bucks All-Star Khris Middleton has donated $25,000 to the Milwaukee Public Schools Foundation’s COVID-19 Relief Fund, and his gift will be fully matched by the Joseph and Vera Zilber Family Trust Fund, through the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. Together, the two gifts will provide nearly 2,500 supply kits for students and families, filled with cleaning and hygiene products and academic supplies.
It’s also his intangibles that have the Knicks brass excited about having a bedrock piece moving forward. Knicks general manager Scott Perry, whose own future is in doubt, insisted on the Barrett pick when some colleague wanted to trade down. “He strikes me as guy not afraid to work and has a great pedigree,’’ the NBA personnel person said. “He’s going to a good player. Is he going to be an All-Star, Hall-of-Fame type player? Probably not. But the potential is there for a couple of All-Star games, like a Khris Middleton.’’

Matt Velazquez: Latest addition to the Bucks injury report for tonight: Khris Middleton is questionable with neck soreness. Giannis Antetokounmpo is still listed as probable with back soreness. Giannis is warming up. Middleton not out here yet. Usually Middleton isn’t too far behind Giannis.

Kane Pitman: Bucks beat Pistons 126-106 and improve to 47-8 on the season. Giannis finished with 33 points and 16 rebounds, while Khris Middleton 28 points and 8 boards. Up next will be another meeting with Philadelphia.
Ben Golliver: Giannis Antetokounmpo on Bucks’ All-Star presence: “I’m really proud of Khris [Middleton], Pat Connaughton, @BucksBango. We did a great job of representing Milwaukee. A few years ago we won 15 games and now we’re one of the best teams in the league.” pic.twitter.com/T73kepeBUq
Although Bledsoe, Middleton and others around the team have plenty of stories about the late-night wake-ups, diaper changing and how to adjust to the sleeping routine, they’re giving Antetokounmpo space to learn on the fly. “He asks us questions all the time, but I just tell him that it’s just an experience you have to go through,” Bledsoe said. “Can’t nobody tell you how to be a parent — that comes with kids.”

Eric Nehm: I asked Giannis if he had a comment for me about Khris Middleton’s career-high 51-point game. He told me his comment was a picture and then proceeded to show me a picture on his phone of @Khris Middleton holding a sign that said “51” on it. He told me he made it for Khris post-game.
Candace Buckner: Scott Brooks on #Bucks forward Khris Middleton: “Make sure you tell him I voted for him. So he doesn’t take anything out on me, or the (#Wizards).”

Malika Andrews: Giannis said he found out he was named an All Star captain for the second time from the coaching staff. He said his approach is the same as last year: pick guys that will play hard. “And obviously, pick my teammates Khris (Middleton) and Bledsoe when they make the All Star team.”
Milwaukee also might not have the supporting cast that warrants a “SuperTeam” label, but the pieces around Antetokounmpo fit. What else matters? And, while they did blow a 2-0 lead against Toronto, they were a shot or two from being up 3-0 before losing in double overtime. Leonard really was on one. “We’re not worried about it at all. People can think whatever they want. We know what we have going on in this locker room. We know what we need to do and what we need to accomplish. We’re not too worried about any outside influences,” Middleton said, declining to make the above case.
Khris Middleton on Giannis’ looming extension situation, and the question of whether they ever discuss his uncertain future… I mean, you’ve got to respect what he’s going to do at the end of the day. Of course I’ve talked to him and joke with him all the time that he can’t leave me here after I came back (last summer), but he respected my decision…
And…how does he react to such humor? Khris Middleton: He laughs. But I mean, we never talk about that, honestly. We don’t talk about that at all. We’re always focused on practice or gameplan or a game or watching film or something. For the most part, we respect our decision making, realize it’s not always about basketball, that it’s about family situations and what not. But we also, like I said man, we just really focus on basketball. We’re basketball junkies. Since we’ve been here, we’ve always been in the gym. Maybe not on the same (basket), but in the same gym working on two different ends and different parts of our game. I think that’s just our relationship. We’re basketball junkies.

NBA player Khris Middleton and UnitedHealthcare gave every student at a Milwaukee elementary school a brand new coat for the winter. A $22,000 UnitedHealthcare grant was presented to the Dreambuilders Foundation to fund the purchase of the winter items. The coat giveaway was part of Middleton’s 12 days of Khrismas, a holiday initiative to perform 12 different acts of kindness and give back to different communities.
Matt Velazquez: Asked Eric Bledsoe how his shin is doing after the collision in the 3rd. Bled: “It’s cool.” Me: “It’s fine?” Bled: “I’m good.” Me: “I remember Khris telling us he was fine then missing like two weeks.” Bled: “I know. … Khris a little baby, though.”
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound point guard has made 55.2 percent of his 29 attempts from between 10 and 14 feet out. How impressive is that? The only player in the entire league who has a better percentage from this range than Fultz with at least that many shot attempts is Milwaukee’s Khris Middleton (57.6 percent), per Second Spectrum tracking data.
Matt Velazquez: Bud says Brook Lopez’s back issue is hopefully a short-term thing. Plan is for him to travel to Detroit and maybe play. Also said Sterling Brown (AC joint sprain) is progressing faster than expected. Could be back later this week at earliest. Khris Middleton will start tonight.
Matt Velazquez: Bud says Khris Middleton won’t start tonight and will probably come off the bench for a game or two. Didn’t reveal Middleton’s minutes restriction. Also confirmed that George Hill is out tonight with back soreness.
Matt Velazquez: Khris Middleton says he will play tomorrow. More to come.
Kane Pitman: Tomorrow will mark 16 days since the thigh contusion was sustained by Khris Middleton. His return will fall a long way short of the initial 3-4 week expected timeframe. Given there is absolutely no reason to rush him, he is obviously feeling great and this is fantastic news,
