Middleton, 32, who spent his rookie season with the Detroit Pistons, declined a $40 million player option earlier in the offseason in order to give himself the choice to explore free agency. However, his return to the Bucks was never really in doubt.

He made three All-Star teams with the Bucks, but more importantly, he served as Milwaukee's late-game shot-creator during their run to the 2021 championship.

Middleton suffered an MCL injury in the first round of the 2022 postseason against the Chicago Bulls. He didn't return, and Milwaukee lost a seven-game series to the Boston Celtics. He struggled to get healthy last season, averaging 15.1 points in 33 games for the Bucks.
