The Bucks have been managing Middleton's return from offseason surgery on both ankles since he came back to action on Dec. 6, and he's averaged just under 23 minutes per game since being moved to the bench on Jan. 8. He played 26 minutes Sunday night against Memphis and just played in back-to-back games on Jan. 27-28.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton won't be available for Milwaukee against Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City on Monday night, the Bucks' second game in two days.
