Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton is recovering from arthroscopic surgeries on both ankles this offseason, The Athletic reported Wednesday.

The three-time All-Star is expected to be ready for the start of the 2024-25 season, per the report.

Injuries limited the 32-year-old veteran to 55 games last season after he appeared in only 33 contests in 2022-23.

Middleton averaged 15.1 points, 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 2023-24.

Through 12 seasons, Middleton 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 2020-21.
