FREE AGENCY TRACKER: Khris Middleton Will Return To The Milwaukee Bucks

Khris Middleton’s first All-Star appearance and key role on an Eastern Conference finals run was enough to convince Milwaukee to bring him back at all costs. Multiple reports, including Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, state that Middleton will return to the Bucks on a five-year, $178 million deal.

Middleton averaged 18.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists for a Bucks team that earned the league’s best record (60-22) in 2018-19. The former second-round pick was an unrestricted free agent and in high demand in a robust free agent market. Milwaukee, however, appears set on maintaining as much of its contending core as possible.
