Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton is expected to miss the first few weeks of the regular season as he continues to rehab from offseason wrist surgery, The Athletic reported Monday.

Middleton underwent surgery in early July to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist. It was thought at the time he’d be ready for the beginning of the season.

A three-time All-Star, Middleton, 30, just completed his 10th NBA season and ninth with the Bucks.

Milwaukee acquired the versatile wing in a 2013 trade with the Detroit Pistons and he has re-signed with the Bucks twice — in 2015 and in 2019. He’s currently under contract through next season, with a $40.4 million player option for the 2023-34 season.

Middleton played in 66 games last season — all starts — for the Bucks and averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game en route to his third All-Star selection.

For his career, Middleton shoots 45.8 percent from the floor, 39.2 percent from behind the arc and 88.1 percent from the charity stripe.
