College career
Middleton played college basketball with the Baylor Bears.
Professional career
After college, Middleton was selected by the Atlanta Hawks in the 3rd round (68th overall) of the 1988 NBA Draft. However, he never played in the NBA. He did however, have a prosperous basketball career in Europe, with teams such as: Çukurova Sanayi, Aresium Milan, Girona, FC Barcelona, Joventut Badalona, Caja San Fernando, Panathinaikos, and Dynamo Saint Petersburg.
He won 3 Spanish League Most Valuable Player awards (1992, 1993, 2000). He also won 2 Spanish League championships (1995, 1996), while playing with FC Barcelona. From 2000 to 2005, Middleton played with Panathinaikos, and with them he won 4 Greek League championships (2001, 2003, 2004, 2005), 2 Greek Cups (2003, 2005), and the Euroleague 2001–02 championship. In 2007, Middleton won the FIBA EuroCup, while playing with Girona.
He then continued to play with Girona, as part of the re-founded Sant Josep. In March 2011, he signed a contract with Valencia Basket.
After Girona, he signed with CB Lucentum Alicante. Lucentum Alicante, despite having finished in 6th place in the Liga ACB, and having earned the right to play in European-wide league, sold their place in the top Spanish League, and played instead in the Spanish 2nd Division LEB Oro, during the 2012–13 season. This was due to financial issues. Middleton was a part of the team during that season, and he helped them to finish in 3rd place in the Spanish 2nd Division, and after winning in the league's playoffs, they earned a return to the top-tier level Liga ACB.
In October 2013, at the age of 47, Middleton signed with Servigroup Benidorm of the Liga EBA, the Spanish fourth division league.
Coaching career
In June 2014, Middleton was appointed as an assistant coach for Dimitrios Itoudis in the Russian team CSKA Moscow.
