Bucks head coach Doc Rivers highlighted Kyle Kuzma's athletic upside after a 137-127 win against the 76ers on Sunday. While Kuzma's three-point shooting is a constant threat for opposing teams, his athleticism is a dynamic that Rivers has added to his starting lineup that he didn't get from Middleton.

The Milwaukee Bucks community expected to end this week wrestling with the the end of Khris Middleton’s time in cream and green. In the weeks preceding the trade deadline, Middleton was transitioned to a bench role where he showed some promise before the wheels fell off again last week in a pair of scoreless performances.

Khris Middleton thanked the Milwaukee Bucks for his time with the organization following his trade to the Washington Wizards. Middleton gave a shoutout to the Bucks and their fans in an Instagram post on Friday.
