ATLANTA − The Milwaukee Bucks changed 20% of their roster the week of the trade deadline, shedding Khris Middleton, MarJon Beauchamp and Delon Wright in favor of Kyle Kuzma, Jericho Sims and Kevin Porter Jr.

The Milwaukee Bucks community expected to end this week wrestling with the the end of Khris Middleton’s time in cream and green. In the weeks preceding the trade deadline, Middleton was transitioned to a bench role where he showed some promise before the wheels fell off again last week in a pair of scoreless performances.
