Doc Rivers on Middleton’s Injury
Doc Rivers added this on Middleton's status.
"He's getting better. He feels great. He just doesn't feel 100%. Clearly a playoff game, he'd clearly play, but it's too early. There's no reason to worry about it or panic about it." – Rivers

God I hate Middleton’s health
It seems precautionary and not like a long term injury at least. It just really sucks that right when Khris is starting to play normal minutes and look really good again this happens.
Sucks that this has basically been his status since the quarterfinals in 2022
This is, once again, the WRONG approach with mentally fragile Khris. Bubble-wrapping him from the threat of injury all regular-season long just makes him way more unprepared (physically)and way more suceptible to injury once a grueling playoff series begins…..
