Despite Khris Middleton playing just 33 games over the course of the 2022-23 season, the Bucks finished with a 58-24 record, the best in the league. They went into the [[2023 NBA playoffs]] as the 1st seed in the Eastern Conference and faced the Miami Heat in the first round. Giannis Antetokounmpo would suffer a back injury just a few minutes into the first game of the series following a blocking foul from Kevin Love as Antetokounmpo was driving to the basket. Antetokounmpo would go on to miss games 2 and 3 and, despite his return for games 4 and 5, the Bucks would go on to lose the series 4-1. On May 4, 2023, a week after their series loss, the Bucks announced the firing of Mike Budenholzer.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.espn.co.uk/nba/story/_/id/37424110/sources-bucks-fire-coach-mike-budenholzer-early-exit|title=Bucks fire coach Mike Budenholzer after early exit|publisher=ESPN|date=4 May 2023|access-date=10 June 2023}}</ref>
