DAMIAN LILLARD NEWS

Listed as doubtful again Lillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Thursday's Game 6 against the Pacers, Pat Boylan of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

Impact Lillard is listed as doubtful for a third straight matchup after aggravating a right Achilles injury during Game 3. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is also doubtful, so Bobby Portis and Malik Beasley should remain in the starting lineup. The Bucks had a valiant effort in Game 5 at home to extend the series, led by Portis and Khris Middleton, but they still need to win back-to-back games to advance to the second round.

Listed doubtful for Game 5 Lillard (Achilles) is doubtful for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.

Impact Lillard aggravated a right Achilles injury during Game 3 and missed Game 4 after being diagnosed with a strained tendon. The Bucks lost both games and now face elimination. Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is also doubtful despite a positive update over the weekend, so Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez may have to lead Milwaukee's offense again, while Malik Beasley and Bobby Portis remain in the starting lineup.

APRIL 29 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Status in doubt for Game 5 Lillard's (Achilles) status for Game 5 against the Pacers on Tuesday is in doubt, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lillard has been playing through right Achilles soreness but aggravated the issue during Game 3 and was ruled out for Game 4 after being diagnosed with a strained tendon. Charania also said Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) isn't close to returning, so the Bucks may be without their top two weapons for a second straight game. Malik Beasley and Bobby Portis would likely remain in the starting lineup if Lillard and Antetokounmpo are out again, but Andre Jackson could also be a candidate for more minutes. Lillard's official status for the potential elimination game should be released Monday night.
