The three-time All-Star underwent offseason surgery on both ankles and has been ramping up activity since being medically cleared to return last month.
Middleton, 33, returns as the Bucks (11-10) have won nine of their past 11 games heading into Friday's clash with the Celtics.
Middleton averaged 15.1 points, 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 2023-24. Over 12 seasons, he has career averages of 16.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.2 steals in 739 games (650 starts) with the Detroit Pistons (2012-13) and Bucks.
Detroit drafted Middleton in the second round (39th overall) in 2012. Traded to Milwaukee in July 2013, he helped the Bucks win the NBA championship in 2021-21.
