Bucks' Khris Middleton: Will draw the start Sunday

Middleton will start at small forward in Sunday's game against the Suns, Eric Nehm of ESPN Milwaukee reports.

Analysis:

It's the first start of the season for Middleton, who has been eased back into action over his first five appearances since returning from a torn left hamstring, which he suffered prior to training camp. Middleton has played no more than 26 minutes in any of his previous appearances, but it's likely that his playing-time restriction will be bumped up to some extent while he moves up to the top unit. MIchael Beasley, who had been starting in place of the injured Jabari Parker (knee), will move back to the bench and likely see a slight reduction in playing time.
