NBA champion Khris Middleton will remain with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to the Milwaukee Bucks ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The All-Star small forward has agreed a new three-year contract worth $102 million. The third year of the deal is a player option.
Middleton would never leave the Bucks. He has a very close relationship with two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. Milwaukee hired Adrian Griffin as its new head coach after firing Mike Budenholzer. Middleton and Antetokounmpo met Griffin during the interview process.
The Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings were interested in signing Middleton, but the swingman was never interested in leaving Milwaukee.
