Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Khris Middleton could return to the lineup soon, and is not ruling out coming back before the All-Star break.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Middleton was able to practice “full throttle” in the team shootaround before Wednesday night’s game in Utah. Middleton has missed the entire season so far after tearing his left hamstring in September.

Including Wednesday night's contest against the Jazz, the Bucks have eight remaining games before the All-Star break begins on February 16.

Before the explosion of Giannis Antetokounmpo this season, Middleton was widely regarded as Milwaukee’s best two-way player. Middleton is a career 40 percent three-point shooter. So far this year, Milwaukee ranks just 24th in the NBA in three-pointers made per game.

The Bucks (21-26) have lost eight of their last nine games, but sit one game out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
