 still no Chris Middleton. Do we have a timetable for his return sources tell me that Chris Middleton is expected to miss the first few weeks of the NBA's regular season coming up this week and for the next several weeks and there is Michelle though confidence that Chris Middleton will be able to make a return to the floor before the month of November is out possibly by mid to late month. Even out since last year's playoff he suffered a sprain MCL during their first round series against the Bull then he had offseason left wrist surgery so the hope is that Chris Middleton will be back in the lineup at some point in November.
