Lillard’s Achilles Injury Casts Doubt on Availability for Game 4; Antetokounmpo Remains Out

Rewritten article: Damian Lillard undergoes an MRI to determine the extent of his Achilles injury, and there are doubts over whether he will feature for Game 4 between Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers. Coach Doc Rivers confirmed that Lillard is currently wearing a walking boot after appearing noticeably limping during their recent loss in Game 3. The team now trails the series against Indiana by two games to one, with Antetokounmpo also remaining absent due to an ongoing calf issue suffered at the end of the regular season. However, there has been some optimism surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo’s injury; while not indicating definite hopes that he would recover for Sunday, Doc Rivers announced a scheduled hard workout routine by Antetokounmpo and will then make an informed decision based on his progression. On the brighter side of things, Khris Middleton finished Game 3 with a career-high playoff score of forty two points despite suffering from sprained right ankle after Lillard added twenty eight points to the total during the match – majority of them were recorded in spite of him aggravating his left knee injury in the first quarter. The Bucks only managed one win out of their last 8 games when Dame did not feature as a starter for regular season matches. This news was reported by Associated Press.
