Bucks' Khris Middleton: Misses shootaround with illness Tuesday

Middleton missed the Bucks' morning shootaround with a stomach virus and is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Middleton's absence from shootaround isn't an encouraging sign for his availability, but the Bucks are hoping he can rally over the afternoon and suit up later in the evening. If cleared to play, Middleton could see his minutes limited a bit more than normal, as the Bucks are entering the front end of a back-to-back set. His potential absence would open up more playing time for the likes of Malcolm Brogdon, Tony Snell, Jason Terry and Matthew Dellavedova.
