It may have taken way longer than Dallas Aggies may 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 Washington Wizards centered around Anthony Davis, and is headed back to the Lone Star State at age 34.
BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks are trading 10-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell and Dante Exum to the Washington Wizards for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, 2 first-round picks and 3 second-rounders, sources tell ESPN. pic.twitter.com/sfrQQubI5i

Middleton is in his 14th NBA season, 12 of which were spend as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. During his tenure there he was a three-time All Star, and a member of their 2021 NBA Championship squad.
During his time at A&M, he averaged more than 13 points and 5 rebounds each of his final two seasons. He was a good, but not elite, player at A&M, so it’s fair to say that going from a relatively unheralded second-round pick to a three-time All Star with $288 million in career earnings means he vastly surpassed expectations as a pro. He’s been a fantastic ambassador for A&M athletics, and it’s great to have him back in Texas. Though considering that his contract expires at the end of this season, we don’t know how long he’ll stick around.
