BOSTON — Milwaukee forward Khris Middleton has made his season debut against defending champion Boston after missing the Bucks' first 21 games while recovering from offseason surgeries on both of his ankles. Middleton entered Friday night's game midway through the first quarter and finished with 11 points, five assists and three rebounds in 23 minutes. The Bucks lost 111-105 to the Celtics. Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is dealing with right patella tendinopathy, also played on his 30th birthday. Middleton appeared in just 33 games in 2022-23 and 55 games last season due to various injuries.
