Milwaukee Bucks wing Khris Middleton said he expects to return for Sunday afternoon's game against the Phoenix Suns after missing more than a month due to a left ankle sprain.

Middleton confirmed the plan to reporters after Bucks practice on Saturday.

The former All-Star has been out since suffering the sprain in a Feb. 6 game against the Suns. He's missed 24 games so far this season.

The Bucks head into Sunday's game in a battle with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Middleton, 32, has been productive in his minutes this year, averaging nearly 15 point and 5 assists in 26.3 minutes while shooting 48.7% from the field.
