“He’s starting to get into his rhythm, and more importantly, he’s starting to get into his groove with this unit,” Rivers said of Middleton after last Wednesday’s win over the Orlando Magic via Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

“And they’re starting to get into a rhythm with him. You can see his bonuses. he comes in, he’s already received the ball many times, so he can get into a rhythm. It was really good,” he added.

“I mean, if I just stay on the path – at least try to stay on it – I still have a long way to go, like I’ve always said. I just have to be on the court, be on the field and play, that’s all,” Middleton said.
