Mandatory Credit: Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images Three-time All-Star forward Khris Middleton picked up his $33.3 million player option for the 2025-26 season with the Washington Wizards, ESPN reported Monday.
Middleton was traded from the Milwaukee Bucks, where he played for 12 seasons, to the Washington Wizards for Kyle Kuzma in a four-team deal on Feb. 6.
The 33-year-old was a big part of the Bucks' NBA championship in 2021 but has been nagged by injuries in the years since. He finished the 2024-25 season with his lowest scoring average (11.9 points per game) and least amount of playing time (22.8 minutes per game) since his rookie season in 2012-13 with the Detroit Pistons.
In 776 career games (671 starts) with Detroit (2012-13), Milwaukee (2013-2025) and Washington, Middleton has averaged 16.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists. He has converted 38.7 percent of his 3-point attempts and 87.8 percent of his free throws.
