  • Khris Middleton

Middleton (knee) will miss Sunday’s game against the Wizards.

Middleton has only played seven games this season after missing a month and a half recovering from offseason wrist surgery, and he will now miss an eighth straight game due to right knee soreness.

Pat Connaughton and Joe Ingles will benefit from his absence indefinitely. Middleton will have another chance to play against the Wizards on Tuesday.

Beal (hamstring) is questionable for the Bucks game on Sunday.

Beal has missed the last two games due to a strained left hamstring, but he could return against Milwaukee. If he remains out, Corey Kispert will almost certainly keep his starting spot for Washington.
