Report: Bucks' Middleton plans to make season debut Friday vs. Lakers

Milwaukee Bucks wing Khris Middleton plans to make his season debut Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Middleton has missed Milwaukee's first 19 games this season as he recovers from wrist surgery.

The Bucks assigned him to their G League team, the Wisconsin Herd, on Nov. 23 as part of his ramp-up toward a return.

The three-time All-Star missed Milwaukee's seven-game playoff series loss against the Boston Celtics in May due to a knee injury.

Middleton averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in 66 regular-season contests last year.
