Middleton is going through the 14th season of his NBA career, his first with the Mavericks. He started the 2025-26 campaign with the Washington Wizards before they traded him and other players to Dallas in the major deal for Anthony Davis.<\/p>\n

Middleton has appeared in six games since the trade, continuing to provide solid offensive production at age 34. With Dallas unlikely to make the playoffs amid injuries, Kidd gave an update on Middleton during Friday\u2019s pregame press conference.<\/p>\n

Middleton has until March 1 to agree to a buyout with the Mavericks so he can become a free agent and potentially join a playoff team. As for Kidd, he supports any decision that the veteran forward makes<\/a> that impacts his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s up to Khris. We support whatever decision he makes if he\u2019s going to stay or if he\u2019s gonna get bought out. But I think he\u2019s gotta make that decision here pretty quick,\u201d Kidd said, per reporter Ron Harrod Jr.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that Khris Middleton has plenty of gas in the tank even though he\u2019s no longer in his All-Star prime. Whether he stays or leaves the Mavericks, he will be a valuable scorer for teams needing more offensive production.<\/p>\n

Middleton has played 40 games so far this season, averaging 11 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. In six games with the Mavericks, he is producing 14.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists per contest.<\/p>\n

Dallas has a 21-37 record on the season, sitting at 12th place in the Western Conference standings. They are above the Utah Jazz by 3.5 games and the New Orleans Pelicans by four games. However, they trail the Memphis Grizzlies by 0.5 games and the Los Angeles Clippers by six games.<\/p>\n

Following Friday\u2019s home matchup against the Grizzlies, the Mavericks will prepare for their next contest. They host the Oklahoma City Thunder as tip-off will take place on March 1 at 8 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n
