Bucks forward Khris Middleton is having a career-season. The two-time all-star is averaging over 20 points and 6 rebounds per game.
Through 32 games, Middleton is averaging a career-high 6.2 assists per game and is flirting with another 50/40/90 season.Â
Middleton will watch this year’s all-star game March 7th in Atlanta.Â
Maybe being snubbed isn’t the worst thing.
The Bucks second half scheduled features (7) occasions where games will be played on back-to-back nights. On (6) occasions, the Bucks will play four games in six nights.Â
The second half schedule is relentless. Â
The first half schedule is relentless.Â
The NBA has asked more of its players in the last 7 months than at any stretch of time in league history.Â
The players are drained.
Aside of contract incentives tied to being an all-star, my guess is that most players would appreciate a week off during these unusual times.
Middleton, a young father, would proudly represent the Bucks if called upon, but maybe being snubbed isn’t such a bad thing for a team with championship aspirations. Â
