Washington Wizards Vooruit Khris Middleton went to social media to share a moving note of thanks with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Struggling to recover from double ankle operation in the low season, the Bucks Middleton exchanged to the Washington Wizards. It was also a deal with four teams with the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, Milwaukee who received Kyle Kuzma, Jericho Sims and a second round pick of 2025.
Middleton spent 12 seasons with the bucks and became triple All-Star and NBA champion in 2021.
“From the moment I stepped in this city, you embraced me. Together we have experienced the reconstruction years, the rise of a championship candidate and ultimately the unforgettable trip to the NBA championship of 2021. That magical run will forever stay with me-the late-game shots, the comeback winnings and especially, those the Larry O’Brien trophy after 50 years brought back to Milwaukee. “
He ended the letter by saying, “This is not goodbye, it’s a thank you.”
Middleton has special thanks for fans van Bucks
Middleton’s message was particularly gracious, but especially for fans of Bucks.
“Your passion and support by every up and down and down has been downright great. From the start of the Bradley Center, to the energy on Fiserv Forum and the packaged Deer district during our championship run – the way in which this entire city gathered behind his team is something special that I will always cherish. “
In 735 games as a member of the bucks, Middleton had an average of 17.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists. He was spectacular in the NBA final of 2021 and raised his figures to an amount of 24.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists in six games against the Phoenix Suns.
There is little that fans and a city of a player can be loved as a championship, and Middleton will always be a legend in Milwaukee because he has become good in that area. The note of thanks from Middleton is a stylish movement of a stylish player.

What is the future for Middleton?
It is a pity that the term of office of Middleton came to an end, mainly because of injury. The clock taps the Giannis Antetokounmpo-Damian Lillard combination and the catwalk on this season was gone.
Now Middleton is likely to focus exclusively on getting his body with a tanking Wizards team. It is still to be seen how much he will play in the rest of the season. Washington gives priority to his younger players such as Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George and Bub Carrington.
Middleton, in addition to Malcolm Brogdon and Marcus Smart, will be viewed into some experienced guidance and leadership, no matter how long they stay with the team.
Middleton turns 34 in the summer and has a player option worth $ 34 million to decide on picking up or becoming a free agent.
