Khris Middleton, a three-time NBA All-Star, has chosen to exercise his $33.3 million player option for the 2025-26 season with the Washington Wizards. Having been traded from the Milwaukee Bucks, Middleton is looking to bounce back after recovering from ankle surgeries that limited him to 37 games last season. Historically efficient, he brings substantial scoring and playmaking talent, underscoring his status as a key player in the league since his rise from the G League. Middleton's previous tenure with the Bucks saw him instrumental in their successful 2021 championship run alongside stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday.
Middleton was traded to the Wizards as Milwaukee sought a younger forward, reflecting changes in team strategy as they move forward in the league.
Despite battling injuries in recent seasons, Middleton's efficient scoring and playmaking ability remain critical assets as he heads into his 14th NBA season.
With a successful career trajectory from the G League to a three-time All-Star, Middleton's partnership with Giannis Antetokounmpo was pivotal in the Bucks’ championship success.
Picking up his $33.3 million player option signifies Middleton's commitment to continue contributing to his new team after a challenging past season.
