Bucks' Khris Middleton: Won't return Tuesday

Middleton is out for the remainder of Tuesday's game versus the Suns due to a left ankle sprain, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. He will end the contest with six points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in eight minutes.

Middleton exited with 3:57 remaining in the first quarter after Kevin Durant was assessed with a Flagrant 1 foul for entering Middleton's landing space on a jumper. Andre Jackson and Jae Crowder are candidates to receive increased minutes in Middleton's absence. X-rays on Middleton's ankle have already come back negative, but he could be sent in for an MRI as the Bucks look to confirm the severity of the sprain. For now, he looks questionable, at best, to play Thursday versus the Timberwolves.
