Bucks star Khris Middleton is expected to miss Milwaukee's season opener Wednesday against the host Philadelphia 76ers as he continues to rehab from ankle injuries, ESPN reported Monday.

The most Middleton has been cleared to do so far is participate in 3-on-3 scrimmages, but he's been limited in practice since Wednesday, Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers told reporters Saturday.
