He’s been perennially injured since late 2022 and has missed tons of time due to an assortment of weird ailments — surgery on his non-shooting wrist somehow affected his summertime knee conditioning regimen, he missed games due to complaints of foot blisters, he tweaked his ankle by closing out on a Jalen Green drive, and now he mysteriously strained his Achilles.
He had knee surgery in April yet is still missing back-to-backs and having his minutes reduced in November. He’s played over 35 minutes in only 2 games since 2022. Hell, he hasn’t played more than 30 minutes this season. He’s averaging around 14 and 5 on 55% TS with porous defense since 2022 despite being paid nearly $30 million a year, i.e., an All Star’s salary.
It’s been nearly 2 years of this and we’re still using Khris’ lack of health as an excuse for whenever we lose. I’m starting to worry that this may be the new Khris. He’s 33 and it looks like his athleticism is dwindling game by game…and Khris was never a hyper athlete to begin with.
If this persists, I think Horst might be making some uncomfortable calls in the summer.

Literally trade him for what? The die has already been cast Khris, Giannis and Dame are unmovable. We can’t get any player of similar value to Khris, and we shouldn’t trade him for “depth guys” as we already have an 8 man rotation, nobody plays 9 in the playoffs. Our single best bet at a championship is hoping Khris is healthy. There is no piece we can go out and get that would be better than a healthy Khris. We could maybe get DeMar for example, but he’s barely averaging 20 ppg on the second lowest TS in the league. Realistically speaking anyone we get for Khris is mostly likely not going to make a championship core, so we sit tight and hope Khris gets healthy. There is no guaranteed way to win a chip, and Khris is still our best bet. I’d rather gamble on Khris health, than a random new SF slotting in perfectly and scoring an efficient 20.
Lmao these posts should be deleted by mods. Khris gets as long as he needs because he’s a Bucks legend and he has zero trade value due to his age, injury concerns, and contract.
Case closed. Thanks for coming.

The NBA does not work like this.
Without Khris the Bucks do not win a championship in 2021. He is a Milwaukee legend. His grace period is permanent.
It sucks Khris had another setback but he has looked pretty good on offense so far this year. Khris just signed a 3 year extension, and his potential value to the Bucks if he can be healthy April-June is much much much higher than whatever trade value he has.
He’s not going anywhere and it is honestly offensive to even bring it up.
