It may have taken a lot longer than the Dallas Aggies might have liked, and it may not be for very long, but Texas A&M great Khris Middleton is finally a Dallas Maverick. Middleton was involved in a deal between the Mavericks and the Washington Wizards centered around Anthony Davis, and is returning to the Lone Star State at age 34.
Middleton is in his 14th NBA season, including 12 as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. During his tenure there, he was a three-time All Star and a member of their team for the 2021 NBA championship.

During his time at A&M, he averaged over 13 points and 5 rebounds in each of his last two seasons. He was a good, but not elite, player at A&M, so it’s fair to say that going from a relatively unknown second-round pick to a three-time All Star with $288 million in career earnings means he’s far exceeded expectations as a pro. He’s been a fantastic ambassador for A&M Athletics, and it’s great to have him back in Texas. Even though his contract expires at the end of this season, we don’t know how long he will stay.
