Wizards' Khris Middleton: Plays just 11 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Middleton totaled four points (2-3 FG) and three rebounds in 11 minutes during Monday's 112-97 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Middleton and Jordan Poole were pulled at halftime of this game even though the team was already shorthanded. That allowed players such as AJ Johnson and Jaylen Martin to see extended run, and they made the most of their opportunity. The Wizards don't have much to play for in the final stretch, so Middleton could be a headache to roster in fantasy.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Middleton (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Raptors.
Middleton will take a seat for the first half of Washington's upcoming back-to-back set, and it's unclear if the veteran will suit up for Tuesday's matchup in Detroit. Over his last four appearances, Middleton averaged 14.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.3 steals per game. In his absence, Corey Kispert, Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie are candidates for increased roles.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Manages team-high 16 in loss
Rotowire
Middleton posted 16 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals over 23 minutes during Monday's 106-90 loss to the Heat.
The veteran forward led the Wizards in scoring on a night in which the team shot just 36.9 percent from the floor. Middleton is still having his workload restricted just as it was in Milwaukee -- he sat out the front end of a back-to-back in late February, and he hasn't been on the court for more than 26 minutes in any of his five appearances for Washington -- but he may be getting comfortable with his new club, producing 33 points, nine assists, eight boards and five steals over the last two games combined.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Plays well against former team
Rotowire
Middleton played 25 minutes in the Wizards' 104-101 loss to the Bucks, scoring 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go with five rebounds, two assists and two steals.
Suiting up for the Wizards for the first time since being acquired Feb. 6, Middleton faced off against the team with which he had spent the last 11 and a half seasons. After he had come off the bench in each of his final 11 games with Milwaukee, Middleton moved right into the starting five for Washington, replacing Carlton Carrington. The Wizards still managed Middleton's playing time carefully, even in a close game, and it's possible that the 33-year-old will continue to regularly receive less than 30 minutes while the team looks to manage his workload following offseason surgeries on both ankles. Additionally, the Wizards' standing as a non-contending club could result in frequent maintenance days for Middleton, particularly for one half of back-to-back sets. The Wizards will next play Sunday in Orlando and then face a quick turnaround with a matchup versus the Nets on Monday.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Inserted into starting lineup
Rotowire
Middleton is in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Bucks on Friday.
Middleton hasn't played since Feb. 2, but he'll make his Wizards' debut Friday in a starting role. The veteran guard started in seven games for the Bucks this season, during which he averaged 15.7 points on 51.2 percent shooting (including 45.5 percent from three on 4.7 3PA), 5.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists over 26.0 minutes per contest. Middleton's addition to the starting lineup means Carlton Carrington -- who started in Washington's last five games -- will come off the bench.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Cleared to play against Milwaukee
Rotowire
Middleton has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Bucks.
Middleton will make his Wizards debut Friday against the team that shipped him to Washington before the NBA trade deadline. The veteran sharpshooter hasn't played since Feb. 2, which means there's a chance he'll likely be rusty against the Bucks. In 23 games this season, Middleton has averaged 12.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists, shooting a career-high 51.2 percent from the field and 40.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Likely out through break
Rotowire
Smart (recently traded) isn't expected to make his Wizards debut after the All-Star break, sources tell Josh Robbins of The Athletic.
Before being acquired from the Bucks on Wednesday, Middleton had been operating under a playing-time restriction as Milwaukee eased him back from offseason surgeries on both of his ankles. Though Middleton appears to be healthy, the non-contending Wizards aren't in any rush to have the 33-year-old make his team debut, so he'll get some extra time to get integrated in Washington. The Wizards plan to take a similar approach with another veteran trade-deadline pickup in Marcus Smart, who will also be held out along with Middleton through the All-Star break before both players likely suit up Feb. 21 versus the Bucks. Middleton had averaged 12.6 points, 4.4 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 23.3 minutes per game over 23 appearances with the Bucks prior to being traded.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Remains out Saturday
Rotowire
Middleton (not with team) is listed as out for Saturday's game versus the Hawks.
The Wizards acquired Middleton from the Bucks on Wednesday, but the veteran wing will receive more time off to get integrated to his new team before making his debut. Middleton had been serving as the Bucks' sixth man prior to being traded, but he could enter the Wizards' starting five once he's ready to suit up for Washington.
Wizards' Khris Middleton: Won't face Cleveland on Friday
Rotowire
Middleton (recently traded) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Cleveland.
Middleton was recently acquired by the Wizards via trade and will have to wait until at least Saturday's game against Atlanta to make his debut. The veteran swingman will likely remain under a minutes restriction whenever he returns, as the Bucks were still managing his playing time following bilateral ankle surgeries in the offseason. Middleton has surpassed the 30-minute mark only once this season, averaging 12.6 points, 4.4 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 23.3 minutes per game over 23 regular-season appearances (seven starts).
