Middleton, 33, is a three-time All-Star who was traded to the Wizards in February as part of the Kyle Kuzma trade. The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 10.7 points per game across 14 appearances with Washington.
The Wizards went an improved 6-8 in games Middleton played, showcasing the positive affect the veteran had on Washington’s young group.
