When the Milwaukee Bucks traded away star forward Khris Middleton, it was one of the toughest days that the franchise had seen in a long time. Middleton was a staple of the Bucks organization and the decision to move him was a hard one.

Khris Middleton showed his vulnerable side when he recently spoke about getting traded by his longtime team, the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks were fittingly Middleton's first opponents in his debut game in a Washington Wizards uniform. The 3-time All-Star tallied 12 points and five rebounds in a 104-101 loss against plenty of familiar faces.

With a strong contest from Kyle Kuzma, Middleton missed the off-balance 3-pointer that would have tied the game, just as Antetokounmpo — for the first time in his NBA career — had hoped and Milwaukee pulled out a 104-101 victory over Washington. The Bucks’ third consecutive win moved them within a half-game of the Pacers for the East’s No. 4 seed.
