The Milwaukee Bucks are getting help soon with the return of Khris Middleton nearing.

The Bucks forward has made significant progress in his rehab process, completing full 5-on-5 scrimmages for the first time, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.

In the report, sources say that Milwaukee is optimistic that Middleton could make his season debut after Thanksgiving.

The 33-year-old Middleton, who had double ankle surgeries in the offseason, has been medically cleared to play for a while now and, over the past weeks, has increased his on-court activity.

Last season, Middleton averaged 15.1 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.7 rebounds for the Bucks, who are currently 5-9 in the standings.
