Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton acknowledges he may need some time to adjust as the three-time All-Star gets ready to play his first NBA game in about 7 ½ months. Middleton plans to make his 2022-23 debut Friday night when the Bucks host the Los Angeles Lakers. "I feel fresh for the most part, but as far as rust, I know that's still probably going to be there," Middleton said after the morning shootaround.
