LAS VEGAS — Milwaukee Bucks guard Khris Middleton missed practice Monday because of illness, leaving his status for the NBA Cup final against the Oklahoma City Thunder somewhat unclear. The Bucks and Thunder play for the Cup on Tuesday night. Middleton has played in only four games so far this season, averaging 7.0 points, 5.8 assists and 3 rebounds. He missed the Bucks' first 21 games while recovering from offseason surgeries on each of his ankles. The three-time All-Star, who was part of Milwaukee's NBA championship and USA Basketball's run to Olympic gold at the Tokyo Games in 2021, had six points in Saturday's semifinal win over Atlanta.
