Bucks' Khris Middleton: Moves past illness, will start Game 6

Middleton (illness) will start and play Game 6 without restriction, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

Analysis:

Middleton has been battling an illness since Monday morning, but his status for Game 6 was never believed to be in serious jeopardy. The 25-year-old has struggled in each of the last two games of the series -- both Bucks losses -- shooting a combined 7-of-21 from the floor, while misfiring on all five of his three-point attempts. Middleton, who shot better than 43 percent from three during the regular season, will look to bounce back in Game 6 with the Bucks facing elimination.
