An era ended in Milwaukee at the trade deadline when the Bucks traded Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards in a deal that netted Kyle Kuzma. Middleton spent 12 seasons, nearly his whole career, with the Bucks which included three All-Star appearances and an NBA championship in 2021.

Khris Middleton, one week after he was traded to the Washington Wizards, posted a message to Milwaukee and the Bucks on social media Friday.

Khris Middleton thanked Milwaukee for helping shape him “into the person and player I am today” a week after the Bucks traded the three-time All-Star to the Washington Wizards.
