In a heartbreaking turn of events, the Milwaukee Bucks have announced that star forward Khris Middleton has suffered a career-ending injury.
Middleton, a key player for the Bucks and a fan favorite, sustained the injury during a routine practice session. The nature of the injury has not been disclosed, but team doctors have advised Middleton that it would be in his best interest to retire from professional basketball.
“We are devastated by this news,” said Bucks General Manager Jon Horst. “Khris has been an integral part of our team and our community, and his presence on and off the court will be sorely missed.”
Middleton, a two-time All-Star, has been a cornerstone of the Bucks’ success in recent years, playing a vital role alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo in the team’s championship run in 2021.
“Khris is not just a great basketball player, but a great person as well,” said Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer. “His leadership, work ethic, and dedication to the game have been an inspiration to us all.”
The Bucks have announced plans to honor Middleton’s contributions to the team and the city of Milwaukee in a special ceremony during an upcoming game.
