Khris Middleton has been ruled out for Friday’s game.

On Friday night, the Milwaukee Bucks will be in Salt Lake City to face off with the Utah Jazz.

For the game, they will be without one of their best players, as Khris Middleton has been ruled out due to injury management.

Underdog NBA: “Khris Middleton (injury management) now listed out for Friday.”

The three-time NBA All-Star is averaging 14.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists per contest in 28 games.

He is also shooting 43.4% from the field and 32.8% from the three-point range.

Despite his down season, the Bucks are the best team in the NBA, with a 52-20 record in 72 games.

They are on a two-game winning streak and 7-3 in their last ten games.

In 2021, the Bucks won the NBA Championship over the Phoenix Suns and they are coming off a season where they lost in the second round.

There is no question they are one of the legitimate contenders to win the 2023 NBA Championship.

As for the Jazz, they are the 12th seed in the Western Conference with a 35-37 record in 72 games (they are 4-6 in their last ten games).

Last season, the Jazz lost in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, but they have a much different roster after trading away franchise cornerstones Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell over the offseason.

On the road, the Bucks are 22-13 in 35 games played outside of Wisconsin, while the Jazz are 22-14 in the 36 games they have hosted in Utah.
