Doc Rivers met with Middleton on Sunday to discuss his reserve role. Middleton is on a minutes restriction after undergoing surgery on both ankles. Middleton missed Sunday's game due to tendinitis in the ankle.
Taurean Prince will remain in the starting lineup for the Bucks.
In 12 games this season, Middleton is averaging 12.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 23.8 minutes.
