Milwaukee Bucks All-Star forward Khris Middleton underwent successful surgery
on his right knee shortly after the playoffs to address an issue that plagued
him this past season, league sources tell The Athletic.
联盟消息人士向《运动家》表示，公鹿队全明星前锋 Khris Middleton 在季后赛征程结
束后，很快且顺利地完成了困扰了一整个赛季的右膝手术。
Middleton, 31, is expected to fully recover from the minor arthroscopic
procedure, and he should be back on the court in July. Per sources, the
clean-up procedure to his right knee was planned and scheduled prior to the
season coming to a close.
目前三十一岁的 Middleton，预计可以从小型关节镜手术中恢复过来，并且在七月回到场
上。根据消息人士，针对右膝进行的清理手术是在赛季即将结束时，就已经安排好了的。
Middleton averaged 15.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 24.3 minutes
per game in 33 games this past season and increased those numbers to 23.8
points, 6.4 rebounds and 6.2 assists in 34.6 minutes per game against the
Heat in the first round of the playoffs, but struggled with right knee issues
throughout the 2022-23 campaign.
Middleton 在上赛季期间，于三十三场比赛中，场均上了二十四点三分钟，得到十五点一
分、四点二个篮板和四点九次助攻；来到季后赛第一轮对阵热火时，场均上三十四点六分
钟，得到二十三点八分、六点四个篮板和六点二次助攻。可是，在整个赛季期间，他一直
备受右膝伤病困扰。
Following a left wrist surgery last offseason, Middleton missed the first 20
games of the season as he waited for the wrist to heal and then worked to get
himself back into game shape. Middleton returned to action on Dec. 2, 2022,
and played six of the next seven games before missing 18 straight games with
right knee soreness.
在上个休赛季期间进行了左手腕（韧带撕裂修读）手术后，由于需要等待伤愈的关系，
Middleton 错过了前二十场比赛，之后积极地使自己能够恢复到竞赛状态。他在去年十二
月二日回到场上，并在再次因为右膝伤病问题而连续错过十八场比赛前，在七场比赛中上
了其中六场。
During that time, Middleton told The Athletic that he was dealing with the
lingering effects of a left ankle sprain and blistering on both feet, but
overwhelmingly, it was the right knee soreness that was keeping him on the
sidelines.
在该段期间，Middleton 向《运动家》表示，他正在处理著基于左脚踝扭伤和双脚起泡的
连锁效应，但很多时候，让他无法上场的因素是右膝酸痛。
“I mean, it’s nothing too crazy,” Middleton said in mid-January. “It’s
just kind of what I’ve dealt with every summer ramping back up for the
season. Just getting my knee back accustomed to running, jumping, the force,
the contact after being off for a long period of time.
“I know it’s kind of vague, but the truth of it is that’s all it was. Just
the swelling and all of that, we couldn’t get it to go away. My leg just wasn
’t strong enough or conditioned enough to withstand it.”
Middleton 在一月中旬时，曾经表示：
“我的意思是，这没有什么值得奇怪的。这只是一种我每年夏天都会处理的问题，为赛季
做准备。只是让我的膝盖重新习惯于跑步、跳跃、力量，以及长时间休息后的接触。我
知道这有点模糊，但事实是这就是全部。只是肿胀和那一切，我们无法让它消失。我的
腿只是不够强壮，也没有足够的条件来承受它。”
This is an important offseason for Middleton and the Bucks. Middleton has a
player option worth $40.4 million for the 2023-24 season and needs to make a
decision on that option by June 21.
对于Middleton 和公鹿队而言，这是很重要的休赛季。他需要在六月廿一日之前，就手上
价值四千零四十万美元的下赛季球员选择权做出（是否执行的）决定。
短评：
只希望不要再有开季时，无法上场的问题了...
另外顺带一提：
在教练团新人事方面，Joe Prunty (曾任公鹿队、老鹰队临时主帅) 和 Patrick Mutombo
(太阳队助教) 将成为继Terry Stotts 之后，另外的两位助教。
