Rumors are swirling around Khris Middleton's potential buyout from the Washington Wizards after he opted into the final year of his contract. Despite battling injuries, Middleton has showcased his talent, cementing his reputation as a former fan favorite of the Milwaukee Bucks. Speculation suggests he might be a target for the New York Knicks, who could greatly benefit from his experience and skill set.

The Wizards are currently in a rebuilding phase and may prioritize developing younger players, which opens the door for veterans like Middleton to be considered for a buyout. Should the Knicks successfully add him, Middleton could provide valuable minutes off the bench, enhancing their already competitive roster. However, at this juncture, nothing is confirmed, and the Wizards' front office's plans remain uncertain.
