The fifth year is at Middleton’s option, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because neither the team nor the player had revealed details publicly. ESPN first reported Middleton’s plans.
Middleton was an All-Star for the first time last season, averaging 18.3 points per game for a Milwaukee team that finished the regular season with an NBA-best 60 wins.
His deal is not quite a max; he could have commanded closer to $190 million over the five years.
