"The Washington Wizards fell to the Milwaukee Bucks 133-120 in Wednesday's regular season opener. Washington drop to a double-digit deficit early in the first quarter after a slow start offensively was overcome by struggles on the defensive end. The Wizards bounced back in the second half, outscoring the Bucks 67-61 to cut their lead down to size. However, in the end, Brian Keefe's squad struggled to overcome the early hole they dug themselves in, even with the strong second half put together by Washington."
"Considering his injury history and lackluster play down the stretch since joining the Wizards last year, it was hard to imagine that any team would be desperate enough to take on Middleton's steep deal. However, if he continues playing at the level he did on Wednesday in his return to Milwaukee, things may change. Middleton finished the matchup as the team's leading scorer, totaling 23 points, six rebounds and three assists, while shooting 9/14 from field goal range and 3/5 from beyond the arc."
