Middleton (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Chicago.
Middleton struggled during the Wizards' 140-110 blowout loss to the Raptors on Friday, when he posted two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and one block over 24 minutes. He will be held out of the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set Saturday while managing a right knee injury, but he'll likely be cleared to return to action Tuesday against the Hawks. With the veteran wing sidelined, Cam Whitmore and Corey Kispert are candidates for increased minutes.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Rough season continues
Rotowire
Middleton accumulated six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 137-135 overtime loss to the Pistons.
Middleton returned from a one-game absence, continuing what has been a passive season, to say the least. The Wizards seem content with managing Middleton through any minor ailment, a trend that is likely to see him miss multiple games as the season progresses. He has scored a total of just 22 points across his past four games, barely featuring on the offensive end. These factors all point to him no longer being a must-roster fantasy asset.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Muted performance in loss
Rotowire
Middleton had six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 20 minutes during Thursday's 127-108 loss to the Thunder.
With the return of Bilal Coulibaly, the Wizards opted to run a bigger lineup Thursday.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Looks sharp despite loss
Rotowire
Middleton logged 23 points (9-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Bucks.
Middleton's heroic return to Milwaukee was a successful one on an individual level as he put up 23 points and finished second on the team in shot attempts. While he's obviously a valued veteran presence on the team, it's fair to wonder just how long the Wizards will rely on him in what is supposed to be a rebuilding season. He's likely to see his name in the rumor mill quite a bit this season.
