Khris Middleton Injury: Won't play Saturday

Middleton (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Chicago.

Middleton struggled during the Wizards' 140-110 blowout loss to the Raptors on Friday, when he posted two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and one block over 24 minutes. He will be held out of the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set Saturday while managing a right knee injury, but he'll likely be cleared to return to action Tuesday against the Hawks. With the veteran wing sidelined, Cam Whitmore and Corey Kispert are candidates for increased minutes.
