Rotowire
Middleton (ankles) participated in everything except live scrimmages at practice Wednesday, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Per coach Doc Rivers, Middleton even snuck into a few scrimmage sequences despite not being cleared to do so, potentially alluding to the 33-year-old craving some live action and feeling physically sharp. Coach Rivers added that Middleton participated in "probably 60 percent of the practice, maybe more," so his outlook for the remainder of training camp is very positive.

Trent has an inside track to be Milwaukee's starting shooting guard, and his offensive contributions will be critical if Khris Middleton (ankles) is limited to start the season.

Rotowire
Middleton (ankle) will be limited once training camp starts on Oct. 1, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
Middleton underwent procedures on both ankles during the offseason but hasn't been cleared for five-on-five action yet, meaning the team will take a cautious approach to his recovery process. With training camp commencing Oct. 1, the Bucks want to do everything possible to ensure Middleton will be available for the start of the regular season in late October. Middleton was limited to 55 regular-season games in 2023-24 and produced averages of 15.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.7 three-pointers per contest.
