Milwaukee Bucks player Khris Middleton must have been feeling like Santa Claus because he left a wildly generous tip on his Christmas dinner bill, Pvnew can exclusively reveal.
The three-time NBA All-Star treated 12 of his friends and family to dinner at Robert “Don Pooh” Cummins’ Brooklyn Chop House, Financial District, Monday and tipped the staff $1,000, an insider tells us.
We hear Middleton, 32, and his group dined on two orders of the restaurant’s $495 LSD meal, which features lobster, steak and duck as well as fried rice, fries and more accoutrements.
The feel-good meal comes after a tumultuous few years for Middleton, who recovered from multiple injuries off the court and lost his father unexpectedly.
“I’ve been thinking and hoping that I’m getting out of that stretch of my life where I can move on to a little bit more positive things. But yeah, it got really high then it got really low for me the last year or two,” Middleton told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last week.
“But that’s life. We go through things at different stages, and you learn and grow from it. I think that’s the most important thing. Try to let a lot of frustration go and realize part of it is life and just try to grow with it, learn from it all, and appreciate things a little bit more.”
Middleton was able to play in the Bucks’ face off against the Knicks; unfortunately, the Bucks lost 122-129.
“I was able to get to a nice rhythm, nice flow, and I’m starting to feel like myself,” he shared.
“Legs are coming back underneath me for my shots and on the defensive side, so I’m feeling great right now.”
