Khris Middleton gave it his all for the Milwaukee Bucks in their first-round series against the Indiana Pacers. Unfortunately, the season came to an end for the Bucks on Thursday as they suffered a 120-98 loss in Game 6.

An exhausted Middleton was shown on the broadcast sitting on the bench as the game ended. It appears that the three-time All-Star had been overcome by his emotions at that point.

Milwaukee Bucks News: Khris Middleton Devastated After Season-Ending Loss

It seems that Middleton was in tears as he took in the gravity of the situation. The 32-year-old covered his face with a towel, so it could not be seen in the video if he was actually crying. It did look like he was wiping away tears, though:

That’s tough to see — and not just for Bucks fans, but for anyone who appreciates the sport of basketball. I mean, Middleton really gave it his all as he soldiered on amid injuries to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t enough.

It’s going to be a very interesting summer for the Bucks now that they’ve suffered an early exit in the postseason. For now, though, Middleton and Co. will just need to power through the pain.
