Middleton recently returned to action after missing the first 21 games of the season.

He has averages of 11.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 27.8% from the field and 33.3% from the three-point range in his first two games.

Via Ti Windisch of Gyro Step: "I'd say Khris Middleton is having a big impact on the Bucks already. Despite some early shooting rust, the Bucks have been incredible in his minutes.

With Khris ON the Bucks have a 133.7 ORTG, a 112.4 DRTG, and thus a +21.3 net rating. Super small sample (43 mins) but sheesh."
