Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton had arthroscopic surgeries on his left and right ankles in the offseason, the Journal Sentinel confirmed Wednesday. Bucks head coach Doc Rivers announced on a broadcast of the team’s summer league game Tuesday that the three-time All-Star had surgery this summer.
“He was injured, you know, through the playoffs,” Rivers said. “And just played because, you know, no one else was playing. He played terrific. He had surgery in the summer, but he’ll be fine by the beginning of camp, which is good for us.”
The left ankle was addressed shortly after the season and the right ankle was operated on in June. Middleton is already back on the court and "doing great," per a person familiar with the situation.
The Athletic initially reported the details of the procedures.
Middleton suffered what he called the worst ankle sprain of his Bucks career on Feb. 6 when Phoenix’s Kevin Durant committed a flagrant foul by sliding his foot into Middleton’s landing area on a jump shot. Middleton turned his left ankle on the play and missed 16 games.

Then during the Bucks’ first-round playoff loss to Indiana, Middleton sprained his right ankle in Game 2 on April 23. He remained in the game and finished the series.
Middleton has dealt with a bevy of injuries the last few years, beginning with a knee sprain in the 2022 playoffs that ended his season in the first round. He then had an offseason left wrist surgery in 2022 and then had right knee surgery in the summer of 2023.
