Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez appear on Jimmy Kimmel's 'Game Night' before Game 4 of the NBA Finals

Khris Middleton is on the verge of returning to action for the Milwaukee Bucks after offseason wrist surgery.

The Milwaukee Bucks will only be reigning NBA champions for a few more days, give or take. But, that is not stopping them from making the Hollywood rounds this offseason.

All-Star forward Khris Middleton and center Brook Lopez appeared Friday on "Jimmy Kimmel Live: NBA Finals Game Night," one of ABC's pregame shows ahead of Game 4 between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors.

Middleton played in a game of "College Knowledge," where he was asked to answer trivia questions alongside fellow Texas A&M attendee Deandre Jordan. The pair faced off against former University of Kentucky players Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Malik Monk.

Team Texas A&M nearly swept Team Kentucky in common knowledge questions, before the Kentucky players saved near total embarrassment by correctly naming Michelangelo as the painter of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling.

As the victors, Middleton and Jordan took home a ball cap that read "Genius." The losers got caps with "Jeanyus" written on it.

Lopez appeared in a segment where he portrayed a pretend model train store spokesperson. It wasn't exactly an Academy Award worthy performance.

Both Lopez and Middleton have appeared in Kimmel's "Mean Tweets" segment in the past.
